With December’s U.N. Paris Climate Conference in the headlines, it has become increasingly difficult to differentiate the climate science from the rhetoric. In Lukewarming: The New Climate Science that Changes Everything, two environmental scientists with over a half century of experience between them explain the science and spin behind the headlines and come to a provocative conclusion: climate change is real, and partially man-made, but it is becoming obvious that far more warming has been forecast than is going to occur, and some of the catastrophic impacts can be shown to be implausible or impossible. Global warming is more lukewarm than hot. This fresh analysis is engaging and enlightening to readers of all backgrounds, and provides an invaluable briefing to those looking to be more informed citizens.

Praise for the book

"Pat Michaels and Paul Knappenberger are real climate scientists, who think that man-made global warming is real. But they refuse to buy into the politicized pseudoscience that has increasingly been used to buttress the case that global warming is also likely to be dangerous. For this they have been routinely vilified. In this light but serious book, they expose many shocking myths about climate change and make a devastating case for lukewarming."
—Matt Ridley, author of The Rational Optimist

"This is a splendid book that will help any interested person understand not only the latest advances in honest climate science, but also the nonscientific machinations of the climate movement. I look forward to having a copy of the book in my own library."
—Will Happer, Cyrus Fogg Brackett Professor of Physics at Princeton University

"This book is a model of good science. Bad scientists ignore uncomfortable facts; good scientists embrace them. The environmental facts are that the globe is, yet again, warming—but only gently. Pat Michaels describes himself, wittily, as a lukewarmer, and in this witty but penetrating book he shows how good science and sane policies can march together to benefit us all."
—Terence Kealey, Vice Chancellor of the University of Buckingham
