ITEM OVERVIEW
A Canadian Mounties boat negotiates the Arctic Northwest package without coming up against pack ice. Floods devastate Mozambique, and tinder-dry forests of the American Northwest go up in a blaze. Just blips in the world's weather systems or unmistakable signals that human influence is to blame? As billion dollar catastrophes pile up, insurance giants are beginning to take warnings by the scientific community seriously. Meanwhile governments rarely match promises with action that can deal with the problems. But what is fact, what is plain disinformation—and what can be done? Fully revised and updated, this new edition looks at the latest findings, explores the options and explains why carbon emissions and nuclear power are not the answer.
