Heat: How to Stop the Planet From Burning marks an important moment in our civilization's thinking about global warming. The question is no longer Is climate change actually happening? but What can we do about it? George Monbiot offers an ambitious and far-reaching program to cut back our carbon dioxide emissions to the point where the environmental scales start tipping back - away from catastrophe.
George Monbiot is the best-selling author of The Age of Consent and Captive State, as well as the investigative travel books Poisoned Arrows, Amazon Watershed, and No Man's Land. In 1995, Nelson Mandela presented him with a United Nations Global 500 Award for outstanding environmental achievement. Currently visiting professor of planning at Oxford Brookes University, he writes a weekly column for the Guardian newspaper.
