'Is it Hot in Here? should be required reading! This book takes the complicated topic of global warming and breaks it down for the layman. Nathan doesn’t stand on a soapbox-he presents a fair and balanced argument for the climate of our world. If you live in a red state or a blue state, if you hug trees or drive a Hummer, this book is for you.'-Josh Rubenstein, MeteorologistKCBS/KCAL Los Angeles'Nathan Cool’s is perhaps the most thoughtful, comprehensive, well-written and accessible study of global warming I’ve ever read. If Is it Hot in Here? were being taught in high schools and colleges, we might not be suffering through this problem at all.'-Aaron Kenedi, Editor-in-ChiefShift Magazine'This is the book for those who want to learn about issues related to global warming. The reader isn’t pushed around by conspiracy theorists, jargoned scientists, aggressive environmentalists or people with agendas.rather, the nuts and bolts of the science, scientific process, political realities, and main debates over global warming are spelled out.'-David B. Field, Oceanographer, Ph.D.Scripps Institution of Oceanography'With an informative and entertaining style, Nathan cuts through the many confusing and contradictory dialogues swarming around the global warming debate. When you read it, you’ll see that it’s not just the-sky-is-falling environmentalists who should be paying attention to voices like Cool’s.'-Gwen Mickelson, Santa Cruz Sentinel
