Synopsis:
This short, accessibly written book makes abundantly clear why global warming is indeed a major threat, unlike any other we ve faced in the past; why urgent action is needed right now; just what those actions are; and why 'politics as usual' simply will not get the job done. Just as war is too important to leave solely in the hands of generals, the global climate is too important to leave solely in the hands of politicians who are being pulled in a million directions. A new mindset is needed, focusing on our own personal and ethical responsibilities to future generations.
About the Author: William Antholis is Managing Director of the Brookings Institution, where he is also a Senior Fellow in Governance Studies. Strobe Talbott is not only the president of Brookings but also a veteran of the US State Department s higher echelons and a longtime columnist/editor for TIME magazine.
