Romm is a climate expert, physicist, energy consultant, and former official in the Department of Energy. But it's his influential blog, one of the "Top Fifteen Green Websites" according to Time magazine, that's caught national attention. Climate change is far more urgent than people understand, Romm says, and traditional media, scientists, and politicians are missing the story. Straight Up draws on Romm's most important posts to explain the dangers of and solutions to climate change that you won't find in newspapers, in journals, or on T.V. 606 $aClimatic changes$zUnited States 606 $aCommunication in science$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aGlobal warming$xPress coverage$zUnited States 606 $aScientists$xPsychology 615 0$aClimatic changes 615 0$aCommunication in science$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aGlobal warming$xPress coverage 615 0$aScientists$xPsychology. 676 $a551.6 700 $aRomm$b Joseph J$01594116 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808602203321 996 $aStraight up$94056467 997 $aUNINA
