Using examples of alarming climate fluctuations around the globe, this entry in the Behind the News series examines theories of global warming and how the changes are reported to the public by the news media. The topics are related, but the abbreviated coverage results in some overly simplistic conclusions: "Some people believe that science is a boring subject. For this reason many significant scientific articles are not published in newspapers." In addition, words in the text seem somewhat randomly highlighted; the word height, for example, appears in bold but is not included with other boldface terms in the appended glossary. Still, Barr encourages readers to consider many sides of the issue, and he asks provocative questions for debate in a final "You Decide" section. Appended matter includes a time line, a glossary, and lists of resources.
