Heat: How to Stop the Planet from Burning

Heat: How to Stop the Planet From Burning marks an important moment in our civilization’s thinking about global warming.

In every case he supports his proposals with a rigorous investigation into what works, what doesn’t, how much it costs, and what the problems might be. He wages war on bad ideas as energetically as he promotes good ones. And he is not afraid to attack anyone—friend or foe—whose claims are false or whose figures have been fudged.
After all, there is no time to waste, and as Monbiot has said himself, "We are the last generation that can make this happen, and this is the last possible moment at which we can make it happen."
