‘Sir John Houghton is one of the few people who can legitimately use the phrase “the complete briefing” as a subtitle for a book on global warming. Sir John has done us all a great favor in presenting such a wealth of material so clearly and accessibly and in drawing attention to the ethical underpinnings of our interpretation of this area of environmental science.’
