Climate change is one of the greatest threats that humankind faces in
the twenty-first century. But while government and industry fail to act,
this book argues, we could all work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
by 60%, the level necessary to halt the current trend according to the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Packed with provocative case
studies, calculations, and lifestyle comparisons, this entertaining and
authoritative book makes the complexities of climatology tractable and
challenges readers to rethink their notions of "doing their bit".
