Storms of My Grandchildren by James Hansen
An urgent and provocative call to action from the world's leading climate scientist.
'When the history of the climate crisis is written, Hansen will be seen as the scientist with the most powerful and consistent voice calling for intelligent action to preserve our planet's environment' * Al Gore *
‘Anyone concerned about the world our children and grandchildren must inherit owes it to themselves to read this book' * Irish Times *
‘James Hansen gives us the opportunity to watch a scientist who is sick of silence and compromise; a scientist at the breaking point - the point at which he is willing to sacrifice his credibility to make a stand to avert disaster' * LA Times *
‘Few people know more about climate change than James Hansen ... This unnerving and fluently written book is the definitive one to read' * BBC Wildlife *
