There have been many publications about climate change, each from a
different point of view and for different audience. Some discuss it through an
evolutionary process; and how the environment is different from what it would
have been if it was not for the rapid effect of the global warming. Some others
begin the discussion with the damage caused by fossil fuel and other forms of
energy that increases CO2 level. And there are some who research and report
changes on the earth as a result of mining. A small and short book that
provides a basic knowledge about climate change and the roots of it bears the
same title. It is in fact a disclosed document or an evidence for those who
deny climate change and consider it a natural phenomenon that would not be
affected by human’s negligence. The book is written for non-scientist readers, whether
they acquire any knowledge of the subject or not, with simple an easy passages
to understand and to follow the reasons for this phenomenon, as well as the
future outcome. Each page contains some animations which emphasizes the point
on that page, in addition to lightening up the serious subject matter. As it
was mentioned, the book is called “Climate Change For Beginners” by Dean
Goodwin, Ph.D. and illustrated by Joe Lee. It was first published in 2016.
