Review : Big issue

“Can civilisation survive?” That is the subtitle for Global Warming (Cassell,
£12.99, ISBN 0 7137 2602 4) by The Guardian’s environment correspondent
Paul Brown. Not much new for regular New Scientist readers, but a thorough,
readable and up-to-date account of the scientific and political greenhouse
orthodoxy. And, needless to say, we never really learn the answer.
