Climate policy hits Turf Moor: follow Burnley's adventure in Europe
and their roller-coaster struggle for survival in the Premiership
while racing through an unconventional take on climate policy. This
is a funny book, written in the earthy and irreverent language of
the terraces. But it has a serious subtext - about climate change.
It's a series of conversations between Joe, a Burnley lad who is
football mad, and Professor Igor who's obsessed with climate
change. Joe thinks that worrying about climate change is a waste of
time. Igor can't understand why 22 grown men would put on shorts
and run around after a ball. Igor agrees to spend a season with Joe
going to every Burnley game, and in return Joe and his family
listen to the Professor rattle on about climate policy. The book
examines why preventing climate change is so difficult, and asks
whether it is more a social and political problem than a
technological one? Will we have to change our lifestyle? Would new
legislation addressing climate change be so unpopular with the
public that politicians will backtrack? How will industry be
affected? Notes at the back of the book summarize all the serious
climate-change material so the reader can look up the important
messages in the book without having to stand on the terraces.
