## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Highly refreshing and informative look at climate change for non-scientists.
  

*by P***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 26 February 2019*

Alley, the author of this informative, entertaining and thought-provoking book, is one of the world’s leading climate research scientists.Yes, informative, because it describes in great clarity the major mechanisms of constantly changing climate over hundreds of thousands of years. And yes, entertaining, through Alley’s description of the daily hardships, challenges and excitement of drilling into the ice-sheet in sub-zero temperatures in central Greenland, and then carefully analysing a two-mile long, 5-inch diameter ice-core. And thought-provoking too, through his carefully detailed analyses of the possible effects of future climate change – and whether human activities have a significant impact on the changes.Whilst tackling a complex, scientific subject, The Two-Mile Mile Machine is not written for scientists, instead Alley aims to inform the non-scientific reader of one the most incredibly important issues of today by using his practical experience in the Arctic and Antarctic.Alley’s handling of these complex issues of constant climate change is so refreshing. His descriptions of the analyses of the layers in the ice-core, and of the ocean conveyers, especially the North Atlantic and the impact of ice-melts from the Hudson Bay and Canada, are particularly helpful to understanding the history and probable causes of climate change in the northern hemisphere – especially northern Europe. Highly recommended – whether you are a climate change sceptic or fully convinced of anthropogenic global warming.The author leaves you with his best assessment, based on current understanding, of whether or not anthropogenic activities are likely to affect our climate. Credit to Alley, he leaves the reader’s final decision to you! Oh, and even though this book was written back in 2000, the results of Alley's ice-core research are still relevant to today's climate change debate.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book, will definitely be good for climate change ...
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 28 February 2015*

Great book, will definitely be good for climate change skeptics. Easy to read with some basic scientific knowledge though can still read comfortably without in-depth knowledge of physics etc. I studied this for a university essay, very good. My lecturers recommend this book so that says it all.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fundamentals of why Earth's climate changes.
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on 17 May 2019*

A thorough explanation of why the earth goes through ice age cycles.  I have given this book to several people who are interested but everyone should understand the concepts laid out in this book.
