This book is for the reader who is interested in having a better understanding of the nature and causes of climate change and a consideration of whether the measures being taken by Governments will succeed. The book argues that success is very unlikely and that, in the future, to prevent a catastrophe, more radical and uncomfortable actions will be needed (particularly by governments and people in richer countries).These actions must involve reduced consumption of the Earth’s scare resources and protection of its environment. Unless humanity mends its ways then global temperature rises will become even greater, such that much of the Earth becomes uninhabitable.
“The Earth is in a death spiral. It will take radical action to save us.”
George Monbiot
Professor Malcolm Prowle originally, trained as a scientist, but subsequently switched to a career in economics and finance. He gained extensive experience in the public and private sectors and has advised government ministers, ambassadors, senior civil servants, and managers on a variety of policy issues. He has been an adviser to two House of Commons Select Committees, an adviser to three shadow government ministers and has also worked, internationally, in many countries. He has written ten books on various aspects of public policy, and the economics and finance of public services and has worked on many research and consultancy projects (in the UK and overseas) including some on the environment and sustainability. He was motivated to write this book because of his concern about the lack of honesty and action, by governments, in relation to climate change.
