The New Climate War

<p><strong>One of <em>The Observer</em>&#146;s &#145;Thirty books to help us understand the world&#146;</strong></p> <p><strong>Shortlisted for the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award</strong></p> <p><strong>Recycle. Fly less. Eat less meat. These are some of the ways that we&#146;ve been told we can save the planet. But are individuals really to blame for the climate crisis?</strong></p> <p>Seventy-one per cent of global emissions come from the same hundred companies but fossil-fuel companies have taken no responsibility themselves. Instead they have waged a thirty-year campaign to blame individuals for climate change. The result has been disastrous for our planet.</p> <p>In <em>The New Climate War</em> renowned scientist Michael E. Mann argues that all is not lost. He draws the battle lines between the people and the polluters &#151; fossil-fuel companies right-wing plutocrats and petro-states &#151; and outlines a plan for forcing our governments and corporations to wake up and make real change.</p>
