The Hot Topic: How to Tackle Global Warming and Still Keep the Lights on
Everything you need to know about the challenges of climate change without the spin.
There is a veritable overload of information on the topic of global warming that makes it difficult to get to grips with what to do and how to deal with it on a personal level.
This highly informative book sets out to inform the reader of the issues, how to prepare for the inevitable changes and then follows up with solutions in these areas: technological, political, personal and local.
The subject is a serious one but as Walker writes – don’t despair, although it’s a hard one it’s not intractable. She suggests that we look inside our circle of influence, start small and soon your circle will expand… but at no point become “greener than thou”.
It’s a jungle of a topic but this book makes the big issues that bit clearer.
