Rejecting cries of gloom and doom, Hope for a Heated Planet shows
how the fight against global warming can be won by the grassroots
efforts of individuals. Robert K. Musil, who led the Nobel Peace
Prize-winning organization Physicians for Social Responsibility,
explains that a growing new climate movement can produce
unprecedented change-in the economy, public health, and home-while
saving the planet.Musil draws on personal experience and compelling
data in this practical and rigorous analysis of the causes and
cures for global warming. The book presents all the players in the
most pressing challenge facing society today, from the massive
fossil fuel lobby to the enlightened corporations that are joining
the movement to ""go green."" Musil thoroughly explains the
tremendous potential of renewable energy sources-wind, solar, and
biofuel-and the startling conclusions of experts who say society
can do away entirely with fossil fuels. He tells readers about the
engaged politicians, activists, religious groups, and students who
are already working together against climate change. But the future
depends, Musil insists, on what changes ordinary citizens make.
Through personal choices and political engagement, he shows how
readers can cut carbon emissions and create green communities where
they live. With practical and realistic solutions, Hope for a
Heated Planet inspires readers to be accountable and enables them
to usher in an age of sustainability for future generations.
