From Library Journal:
Another entry in publishers' Earth Day sweepstakes. This book will add little of substance to the debate over the causes, extent, and consequences of a potential global warming. Covering roughly the same ground as Michael Oppenheimer and Robert H. Boyle's Dead Heat ( LJ 4/15/90) and Francesca Lyman and others' The Greenhouse Trap ( LJ 4/15/90), this is less balanced and often dogmatic. Gribbin, an astrophysicist turned science writer, is convinced that the world is heading rapidly towards an eco-catastrophe, but his case is marred by imprecise language, incomplete explanations, arbitrary dating, and nonexistent, or incomplete, references. His book is not recommended.
