'Brilliant and fundamental, this is the necessary book about our
prime global emergency. Here you'll find the facts, the processes,
the physics of our complex and changing climate, but delivered with
eloquence and urgency. Lawrence Krauss writes with a clarity that
transcends mere politics. Prose and poetry were never better
bedfellows' -- Ian McEwan
'It is brimming with information lucidly analysed. Such hope as
there is lies in science, and a physicist of Dr. Krauss's
imaginative versatility is unusually qualified to offer it' --
Richard Dawkins
'Lucid and gripping, this study of the most severe challenge humans
have ever faced leads the reader from the basic physics of climate
change to recognition of the damage that humans have already caused
and on to the prospects that lie ahead if we do not change course
soon' -- Noam Chomsky
