Goodreads asked David Bennett Laing:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

David Bennett Laing I'm a scientist (geologist). One of the key principles of science is that everything you say about something must make sense in terms of everything that's known about that thing. For a long time, I've had the feeling that the theory of greenhouse warming wasn't making sense, and the more deeply I looked into it, the more that feeling was confirmed. "In Praise Of Carbon" is my attempt to set the record straight about carbon dioxide, one of the most vital (and most underappreciated) substances for all life on Earth.
