New Climate War, The

Shortlisted for the Financial Timesand McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award, and one of The Observer's 'Thirty books to help us understand the world'. Are we really to blame for the climate crisis? Over 70 per cent of global emissions come from the same 100 organisations, but fossil-fuel companies have taken no responsibility themselves. Instead, they have waged a 30-year campaign to blame individuals. The result has been disastrous for our planet. In The New Climate War, renowned scientist Michael E. Mann argues that all is not lost. He draws the battle lines between the people and the polluters -- fossil-fuel companies, right-wing plutocrats, and petro-states -- and outlines a plan for forcing our governments and corporations to wake up and make real change.
