The authors know how to get a laugh-and they know their facts. Bauman has a PhD in economics and has taught at both the high school and college level, but he now makes a living performing at comedy clubs, universities, and conferences, sharing the stage with personalities as diverse as Robin Williams and Paul Krugman. If those subjects sound daunting, consider that Bauman and Klein have already written two enormously successful cartoon guides to economics, making this notoriously dismal science accessible to countless readers. You’ll giggle, but you’ll also learn-about everything from Milankovitch cycles to carbon taxes. "Stand-up economist" Yoram Bauman and award-winning illustrator Grady Klein have created the funniest overview of climate science, predictions, and policy that you’ll ever read. The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change entertains as it educates, delivering a unique and enjoyable presentation of mind-blowing facts and critical concepts. The topic is so critical that everyone, from students to policy-makers to voters, needs a quick and easy guide to the basics. Climate change is no laughing matter-but maybe it should be.
