HOW TO TACKLE GLOBAL WARMING
AND STILL KEEP THE LIGHTS ON
David King, Gabrielle Walker
`The Hot Topic` is a collaborative
work by one of the most respected scientists and one of the
most dynamic writers in the field of climate change. Sir David
King, world-renowned scientist and the Government`s Chief
Scientific Adviser, is widely credited with persuading Tony
Blair to act on climate change and with getting key international
figures around the negotiating table, and has a significant
media profile. On publication of `The Hot Topic` his previous
obligation not to comment publicly about New Labour`s attitude
to the ever-growing problem of global warming will be lifted
and he will finally be able to speak out.
Gabrielle Walker is a respected author,
journalist and radio presenter, and a regular contributor
to New Scientist, whose 8-part series `Planet Earth Under
Threat` was a major success last year for BBC Radio 4. Last
year awareness about global warming reached a tipping point.
`The Hot Topic` goes beyond a statement of the problem to
address in detail what can be done to answer the challenge
on a personal, social, national and international level. A
clear, short and engaging book that approaches the whole issue
- the present problem and the future solutions - in a straightforward
way, it is bound to receive massive attention from industry,
the media and government alike.
While there have been many other books
about the problem of climate change, none has addressed what
we can and should do about it so clearly and persuasively.
