A self-described skeptic of global warming, Flannery (The Eternal Frontier) took several years to research the issue himself. The result is this sobering look at climate change and our planet's future within the next few decades. Writing for ordinary readers, Flannery pulls no punches and details four possible outcomes that depend on how soon—or late—we can get serious about addressing global warming and take concrete steps to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. While grim, this book is not entirely hopeless. Flannery makes specific suggestions for action, such as investing in renewable power sources like solar, wind, and geothermal energy. Flannery's powerful warning is a quick-start guide that will inspire readers to make a difference by changing their environmental behaviors. [For those seeking more information on renewable resources, this new translation cites a few organizations in Spain; however, it also includes all the English-language websites and institutions included in the original, which won’t be of much help for monolingual readers.—Ed.] Recommended for public libraries.
