Subject: "The greenhouse effect is us, and it is specifically us in the Western world". More than any other time in history, the 1990s will mark a turning point for human civilization.

More than a book on the environment, this is a book about us as a species: our short-sightedness, our failure to read warnings, our inability to grasp the signifigance of our actions - and the tough decisions we have to make in order to save ourselves
