Saving the World, Cheerleaders and All October 6, 2008
R. Perrins (London, UK)
Quite frankly, I am astonished that I am the first person to review this brilliant and important book. "Seven Years to Save the Planet" is a superbly organised and eminently readable run through all the important questions about climate change. It is suitable for beginners but it also "joins the dots" for those of us who think we know a thing or two about green issues. It can be read from cover to cover or used as a reference book.
It's organised into 5 parts: Where are we now? What will climate change mean for me and my children? What can I do? What should others be doing? Is it already too late? Each part is subdivided into short question and answers, e.g. Can we be certain that the earth is heating up? What is my carbon footprint? Just how bad can things get?
The first two parts are inevitably somewhat depressing but Bill McGuire allows himself a degree (or two?) of optimism in his conclusion. He is confident that we already have the means to slow and perhaps avoid the worst effects of disastrous climate change. He is far less optimistic that we have the political will to make the changes to bring this about.
This is a book that all our leaders should read before the crucial climate conference in Copenhagen in late 2009. In fact everyone should read it. And if you're worried about keeping your carbon footprint as low as possible, buy it and re-gift it.
