"His years of experience at the Goddard Space Institute means that Hansen has been at the vanguard of climate change science for over 30 years. Without being alarmist in tone, Hansen has written the best, most informative, and frankly, the scariest book on climate change I've ever read.

Today he is the Chief Commissioner of the Australian Climate Commission, a Federal Government body providing information on climate change to the Australian public. "
