The second edition of “A Global Warming Primer (2e) — Pathway to a Post–Global Warming Future” has been released. Our climate future may often seem like a choice between bleak and bleaker, but it doesn’t have to be that way. This book, written largely in Q&A format, teaches the science behind climate change, consequences, and solutions “with inspiration, not (only) fear.” The approach emphasizes that if we act rapidly and wisely, we still have a pathway to a future in which we may someday talk about global warming as a problem of the past. The book is ideal for high school and college classes that cover climate change and anyone wanting to learn more about the topic. The cherry on top for astronomers? The book introduces the topic through a fascinating comparative study of Venus, making it a valuable resource for A4E members!
