About this work

Description

"Just before this book went to the printers, at the end of August 2000, the editorial of the New Scientist commented: "Levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are well on the way to those found in the Eocene period when the world was ice-free and England a steaming mangrove forest." Such news makes some of us deeply anxious. Others will ask what they can do. This Little Earth Book will, by shedding light on complex issues, help us to respond both constructively and creatively - rather than throw up our hands and leave responsibility to 'the experts. The book is about new attitudes and a change of direction, not doom and gloom. And if we say some apparently dramatic things remember that scientists - in many cases the majority of them - are saying dramatic things too. They are beseeching us to look at the evidence and DO something. The book is about new attitudes and a change of direction, not doom and gloom."--From the Introduction.
