The full title?

Maybe the full title should be added (including the subtitle)? Why We Disagree About Climate Change: Understanding Controversy, Inaction and Opportunity per http://www.amazon.com/Disagree-About-Climate-Change-Understanding/dp/0521727324/. Nsaa (talk) 21:07, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

I've gone through the sources used and think it could be wise to remove three of them (and the accompanying text) before moving it into mainspace. They may be ok, but it may be better to introduce them at this talk page after the article is in the main space, so concerned parties can object/modify/say ok etc. Nsaa (talk) 22:04, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Two Reviews i believe are ok to use, awaiting comments

Richard D. North writing on his personal website said, "Most of the books on global warming science and policy are pretty muddled, hysterical or dreamy by turns. Very few have real quality. Mike Hulme’s book, Why We Disagree About Climate Change seems to be in a different class". ^[1]

Duncan Green, the head of research for Oxfam(UK) has said, "First what the book is not. It is not a polemic, nor an attempt to ‘settle’ the argument with climate change deniers. It’s much more interesting than that. Hulme stands back and looks at the broader significance of climate and climate change, from the viewpoint of science, economics, religion, psychology, media, development and governance. If you want an intelligent take on the IPCC, the Stern Report, the disagreements between North and South – it’s all here. His intent is to show that the disputes over climate change are not just (or even mainly) about the science, which is in any case hugely uncertain. Rather they are deeply rooted in all aspects of the human condition" ^[2]

quick comments on the reviews

At first blush they look ok, the drawbacks are simply where they were published (blogs). If the authors are notable for climate change activities, I think they could be used with appropriate textual notifications of where they were published. --Rocksanddirt (talk) 17:17, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
