WILL climate change affect hurricanes? No doubt about it, writes Chris Mooney, but “precisely how and to what extent remains very much unsettled… and that makes all the difference”. Storm World is as much about the process and politics of climate science as it is about hurricane research, and does a terrific job of explaining both. As a native of New Orleans, Mooney has a stake in the issue, but this book is no mournful warning of imminent doom. Instead, it reveals the debate between climate modellers and empirical meteorologists, explaining why their views diverge. Highly recommended.
