Publisher's Synopsis
Each new scientific report on climate change makes increasingly alarming predictions about global warming. The threat is impossible to ignore. Or is it? Most governments have responded slowly, if at all, pointing to an attitude of denial and a reluctance to instigate the major changes needed. This No-Nonsense Guide, fully revised and updated, looks at the latest findings, explores the options and explains topical issues like carbon emissions trading and nuclear power. It calls for measures to clean up our act, cut energy use and improve energy efficiency.
