Book Description

27 Nov 2008
As the Arctic melts, and the pace of climate change quickens, Climate Safety shows that our current plans for preventing the worst impacts of climate change are not ambitious enough. With an up-to-date assessment of the latest climate science and a clear explanation of its implications, the report lays out what we need to do to achieve climate safety.

Product Description

Review

You cannot overstate the importance of this report: it has opened my eyes to levels of climate risk far beyond those of which I was aware. It shows that we have to rethink completely our responses to it. Crisp, clear-headed and profoundly shocking, this report should be read immediately by everyone who cares. --George Monbiot

A report to keep every policymaker awake at night. --Caroline Lucas

Climate Safety plainly shows us that we need to inject a sense of urgency into the debate about how we respond to climate change. It s not about gradually reducing emissions any more, it s about recognising the risks we face and cuting our emissions to zero as quickly as possible. --Mark Lynas

5.0 out of 5 stars A frightening Prospect 23 Feb 2009
This is a frightening read. The speed and scale of climate change will change all our lives forever and soon. This book tells you about the latest science and then details what we need to do to tackle the problem. The timetable is very short - six years at the most. Everyone should read this book and then set about our politicians to take action. The economic downturn is chicken feed compared with the problems we face with climate change,. Paul Brown February 23, 2009

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Report 2 Dec 2008
Clear, concise and straight to the point.

No vested interests, just well researched with logical conclusions AND an action plan

If only we had the political will to implement the items this report recommends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Climate Safety 29 Nov 2008
This is the most astonishing document, which tells us first how serious a problem we face with the onslaught of Climate Change, but then tells us how we can tackle this and still stay sane, and enjoy life. Perhaps this is because it is written by young people, those whose future is most at stake. Give it to anyone under 40 and suggest they get going right now!
