Critics Review
“Useful for those wishing to understand global warming’s future impact.” —Andrew Robinson, Nature
“Syukuro Manabe, Winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics”
“Useful for those wishing to understand global warming’s future impact.”—Andrew Robinson, Nature
”[Highly] engaging and well written.”—S.C. Pryor, Choice
“Useful and enlightening … . The knowledge derived from the model output is clear, detailed, and relevant to a better understanding of the climate system. The purpose of the book is to lead the reader down the path that Manabe and Broccoli have followed in their careers, showcasing the methods and motivation used in each study, and explaining and contextualising their findings. In each of these goals it succeeds admirably.”—Eimear Dunne, Holocene
