"With his usual outstanding writing, Tim Flannery has introduced us to a whole interconnected world of climate change, one that has been much debated but little understood.  It is difficult to misunderstand the convincing connections presented in this landmark book, which should be read by everyone concerned with the world’s future.  Climate change is the single-most important driving force that will negatively affect the future of the human race unless we do something about it now.  Tim Flannery makes it clear why this is so and provides a blueprint for getting ahead of the curve and creating a sustainable world for the future."
