Author: Monbiot, George

This book prescribes a far-reaching program to cut carbon dioxide emissions to the point where the environmental scales start tipping back, away from catastrophe. Though he writes with a "spirit of optimism," Monbiot does not pretend it will be easy. His solution requires a 90% cut in CO2 emissions in the world's richer nations by 2030. As Monbiot has said, "We are the last generation that can make this happen, and this is the last possible moment at which we can make it happen." Now in paper. 336 pp.
