“[Dyer] eloquently explores the ‘grim detail’ of how governments will grapple with a challenge unprecedented since before there were governments. You won't find this stuff in any IPCC report… It makes for a good read.” Fred Pearce
"Frightening yet essential reading."
“Well written and well argued, crammed with impressive interview material and wonderful personal vignettes.”

“The multitude of sources and the political perspective on global warming make the book scarier and more convincing than the usual predictions limited to climate and weather. We can hope that Dyer’s sources are impressive enough to convince policy makers to take serious action.”
"Frightening yet essential reading."
"Climate Wars: The Fight for Survival as the World Overheats has been called 'a truly important and timely book,' but I'd go further. I'll say this may be the most important book you'll read this year." Mickey Z

“Speculative as Dyer’s litte `history of the future’ is, it has an unmistakable – and alarming – ring of truth.”
"Hopefully, his lucidly written book may help raise awareness of the potential crisis."
"compelling… a warning of what could happen if we don't pull our fingers out."
In his seriously worrying study of the near future, Gwynne Dyer adopts a rarely considered perspective on climate change: the potential political and military responses to its effects."
"A well-argued, eye-opening book that will convince you of the need for immediate action, if it doesn't keep you up at night."

"Dyer has a gift for providing a unique perspective on war and conflict. Now he's taking on climate change as well."
“Dyer does a wonderful job of explaining all aspects of this crisis … highly recommend[ed]”.
"Gwynne Dyer's brilliant analysis, in Climate Wars, of the geopolitical conflicts that may unfold over the next few decades — even if we do get serious about global warming — is almost too fearsome to absorb. When I talk to the scientists themselves, there is a palpable sense of panic, something confirmed by Dyer in his interviews conducted around the world."
"Like a Stephen King novel, it's scary, but you can't put it down."
“The multitude of sources and the political perspective on global warming make the book scarier and more convincing than the usual predictions limited to climate and weather. We can hope that Dyer’s sources are impressive enough to convince policy makers to take serious action.”

"Terrifying is just one of the words to leap off the page."
"Gwynne Dyer is one of the few who are both courageous enough to tell the unvarnished truth, and have the background to understand, not misrepresent the inputs. This book does a superb job of detailing the emerging realities of Climate/Energy. These realities are not pretty."
"This is a truly important and timely book. Gwynne Dyer has made the best and most plausible set of guesses I have yet seen about the human consequences of climate change, of how drought and heat may ignite wars, even nuclear wars, around the globe."
"The current debate on climate change is mostly on its future effects, but few are brave enough to work out what they might be. Here is a lively, alarming and even entertaining attempt to look ahead. Water and war have always been associated. We need hope as well as good sense in looking at the future. Here it is."
