Author Information

Simon Rosser studied law at North London University and The College of Law, in Chester. He now works as a personal injury lawyer in Cardiff. Interests include geography, astronomy, travel, and writing. This is the author's first book, having been inspired to write the book after watching Al Gore's documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, in November 2006. The purpose of writing the book was to try and simplify and clarifying the complex subject of global warming in an attempt to bring the subject to as wide an audience as possible, to raise understanding on the subject and to raise money for climate-change related charities. All information in the book is based on the latest scientific understanding of the subject sourced from scientific papers and information. As a solicitor one legal skill required is an ability to sift through lots of paperwork and information in order to extract the most important, salient points, and this skill has proved invaluable in putting this A-Z guide together from the vast amounts of information and data out there on the global warming problem.
