Editorial Reviews

Review

"Persuasive and very frightening overview of global warming"  —Publishers Weekly


"A compelling case for recognising, as the UN secretary-general has said, that we face a climate emergency."  —Dr. James Hansen, director, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Goddard Institute for Space Studies



"Having been involved with global warming climate change as a researcher in environmental health for 25 years, I can say that this is without question by far the best book to date on this issue—the first book to have the integrity to say how the situation really is."  —Dr. Peter Carter, founding director, Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment



"Read Climate Code Red. I wish I had read it sooner; it's high-caliber work . . . the best I've seen, and I agree completely."  —Ken Ward, former deputy director, Greenpeace USA



"A sober, balanced analysis of this challenge, unadorned by political spin, proposing a realistic framework to tackle the emergency."  —Ian Dunlop, former international oil, gas, and coal industry executive



Product Description

Revealing extensive scientific evidence that the global warming crisis is far worse than officially indicated, this meticulously documented call-to-action argues that the planet is almost at the point of no return. From large ice sheets disintegrating and devastating losses of species to the promise that sea levels will rise more than 16 feet this century, this study shows that it is no longer a case of how much more can be “safely” emitted but whether emissions can be stopped completely before the Earth’s climate is beyond human restoration. Demonstrating that these imperatives are incompatible with politics and a "business as usual" attitude, this survey illustrates how the environment faces a sustainability emergency that urgently requires a clear break from failure-inducing compromise.
