Funny Weather
The funniest way to learn about climate change..

Everything you didn't want to know about climate change but probably should find out. From one of Britain's most talented young comic artists, here is a scathingly humorous, and thoroughly researched exploration of climate change through the eyes of a stroppy teenage girl, a fat cat businessman and a mad scientist.

Kate Evans is an active environmental campaigner who has been marrying words and images for political effect for ten years. Artistically adventurous, she has evolved a style of succinct comic reportage, used to devastating effect in this book, which graphically illustrates the problems and solutions to climate change.

Evans, whose green credentials, are squeaky clean, tackles the follies of jet-setting, offsetting, carbon sequestration and nuclear proliferation head-on and with humour. Her vision of ordinary people switching to low-carbon lifestyles, coming together in an unstoppable movement for political change and ‘sorting it out’, is inspiring. Buy this book, read it, give it away. Then, as Kate says, ‘better get on with it’.

"'Brilliant - shocking and apt and beautifully drawn... Kate Evans has told the story of climate change in a way that’s accessible, funny and moving." George Monbiot, author of Heat: How to stop the Planet Burning

"More comprehensive than most weighty scientific tomes, and a good deal funnie'." Mark Lynas, author of Six Degrees and High Tide

"Very well researched... scientifically well informed, and entertaining too." Dr Chris Jones, The UK Meteorological Office's Hadley Centre for Climate Research.

Format: 145 x 210 mm, 96 pages, paperback.
