The Weather Makers by Tim Flannery.

Species of frogs that are only just being discovered have already been lost due to climate change. Nature’s triggers have been shifted (by changing temperatures) and late blooming plants result in the starvation of a caterpillar species. Everything is intertwined and what we can today see at a micro scale is soon going to change humanity on a macro scale.
This powerful book gives a Past, Present, and Future review of climate change - from 1900 statistics showing that emissions were changing global temperatures, to the outlook for Australia and it's troubling coal dependency.
What Al Gore gives us about global awareness, Mr. Flannery brings closer to home, with commentary on life for both Australians and New Zealanders.
**** Highly recommended.
