There is no longer any doubt that climate change is due to the activities of the industrialised nations. If emissions from carbon gas and other gases producing the greenhouse effect are not drastically reduced in the next few decades, the damage will be immense and irreversible. This multi-disciplinary book has assembled the viewpoints of scientists and politicians right across the board, all of them convinced that the struggle to stop global warming is top priority and could provide an opportunity for a salutary conversion of our economic system. We now stand at an unprecedented point in our history: the future of the human race itself is at stake. It is imperative that we acknowledge the disaster and seize the God-sent opportunity we have been given.
