This book is a call for action to face up to climate change.
McManners argues that that there is a way out of the world's climate emergency which needs much greater realism than the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
The changing climate is leading to record temperatures and increasing frequency of storms, but this is just the commencement of dangerous consequences to come.
It has become abundantly clear that a bold approach is needed to pull back from catas.
