"Last year, awareness about global warming reached a tipping point. Now one of the most dynamic writers and one of the most respected scientists in the field of climate change offer the first concise guide to both the problems and the solutions. Guiding us past a blizzard of information and misinformation, Gabrielle Walker and Sir David King explain the science of warming, the most cutting-edge technological solutions from small to large, and the national and international politics that will affect our efforts. While there have been many other books about the problem of global warming, none has addressed what we can and should do about it so clearly and persuasively, with no spin, no agenda, and no exaggeration. Neither Walker nor King is an activist or politician, and theirs is not a generic green call to arms. Instead they propose specific ideas to fix a very specific problem. Most important, they offer hope: This is a serious issue, perhaps the most serious that humanity has ever faced. But we can still do something about it. And they'll show us how."--Publisher's description.… (more)

There is some scary stuff in here about global warming, and it effects on the planet and the human race. ( )

This is an excellent, no-nonsense book with the facts about how the world is changing right now, and what we can expect in the future. It is not about doomsday scenarios but makes the case that we do have to act now, and that all of us can play a part ourselves and pressure our governments for sensible solutions. The really dire effects are unfortunately going to be left for our grandchildren to cope with if we continue business as usual. A very practical book that everyone should read, so they can sort through the hype and the headlines. ( )
