"At last, a look at climate that is accessible, fascinating and
ultimately, a call for action. Over the past century, humanity has
become so powerful we are altering the chemical makeup of the
atmosphere. Keeping Our Cool: Canada in a Warming World is
an insider's story of climate change. Andrew Weaver is a
distinguished scientist who has been a major contributor to the
Nobel prizewinning work of the IPCC. Beset by naysayers and
skeptics, pressures from corporations and laggard politicians,
Weaver keeps us focused on the science and the urgent need to act.
A gripping narrative, this should be the final alarm that
galvanizes us to move onto a different energy path of renewables
and efficiency."
-David Suzuki, Founder, The David Suzuki Foundation
"Keeping Our Cool is a wonderful gift from a premier
climate scientist to the rest of us. In the most reader-friendly
prose, Andrew Weaver explains clearly and honestly what scientists
do-and do not-know about our overheated planet. Andrew Weaver has
given the rest of us a great gift-a clear, non-forbidding tour
through the current state of climate science. Keeping Our
Cool acknowledges our deepest fears even as it respects our
intelligence."
-Ross Gelbspan, author: The Heat Is On and Boiling
Point
"Andrew Weaver, one of the world's foremost climate modellers,
answers the otherwise confusing questions of climate change with
confidence and clarity."
-James Hoggan, Chair, The David Suzuki Foundation and founder of
DeSmogBlog
"It is crucial that Canadians understand the stakes in the
climate debate, and Andrew Weaver has both the credentials and the
straightforward style to get that job done. This is a necessary
book."

and the Durable Future
