My 7yo boy is concerned about global warming and thinks CO2 emissions must be cut. IMO cap-and-trade is not worth the cost, but that is certainly debatable. One needs to know a good bit of physics (especially atmospheric science) and statistics to assess the evidence for global warming, economics and political science to assess the feasibility of proposals such as cap-and-trade, and engineering to evaluate alternative sources such as wind, solar, and nuclear power.
Any suggestions for books on these topics for someone who probably reads at the middle school level? Searching "global warming" on Amazon pulls up numerous books, many of which contradict each other, judging from the titles.
