From inside the front cover:"Not so long ago, global warming was regarded as a vague threat that future generations might have to address someday. Those days have passed : today, the overwhelming majority of scientists beleive that the gradual heating of our planet due to the trapping of greenhouse gases is not only a fact but also a serious crisis that is accelerating rapidly and must be addressed immediately. Moreover, an international group of climate experts stated with "very high confidence" in a 2007 U.N. report that the man made release of hydro-carbon emissions is a major factor that is helping drive today's climate change. In these pages, Time provides a sweeping report on global warming, tracting its causes, its impact on today's extreme weather patterns and its consequences for the future. The volume offers an overview of the great challenge of our times through the compelling photographs, wide-ranging reporting and informative graphics that are Time's hallmark. Moving beyond the contentious, constantly evolving politics of the crisis, the volume focuses on its scientific, social, and economic aspects. Most important, it reports not only on the perils of global warming but also on its potential solutions: the promises and pitfalls of alternative energy sources, the new wave of green-building design, the leaders and visionaries who are pointing the way to the future. And the book concludes with a host of hands-on, positive actions each of us can take to ensure we are working to preserve our irreplaceable planet for future generations."
