Careful when looking for books on climate change: Climate deniers are using smart advertising to sell books that deny climate change, for example Abbot and Armstrong’s 2015 concoction, Climate Change. The Facts.

The real facts: David Archer/Stefan Rahmstorf: The Climate Crisis. An Introductory Guide to Climate Change. Cambridge University Press, 2010
