This book has been written in a simple, illustrated style, to encourage readers to understand what global warming and climate change are all about, why they are happening, and why there is a danger of the destruction of the planet within three generations (by the end of this century). It is really that serious but the media, hand in glove with the big corporations, continually plays it down. Up to ten factors have all been working together to bring about the current situation and the book links them all together and shows how there needs to be a change from current thinking about the economy, growth and trade, if we are to save the planet.
