Heat marks an important moment in our civilization's thinking about global warming. The question is no longer Is climate change actually happening? Now, only one question is worth asking: Can it be stopped?


George Monbiot thinks it can, and offers a book that just might save our world.


For the first time, Heat demonstrates that we can achieve the necessary cut--a 90% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030--without bringing civilization to an end. Though written with a "spirit of optimism," Monbiot does not pretend it will be easy. Our response will have to be immediate, and it will have to be decisive.
