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 show more they can sort through the hype and the headlines. show less
There is some scary stuff in here about global warming, and it effects on the planet and the human race.
