An urgent and provocative call to action from the world''s leading climate scientist

Dr James Hansen, the world''s leading scientist on climate issues, speaks out with the full truth about global warming: the planet is hurtling to a climatic point of no return. Hansen - whose climate predictions have come to pass again and again, beginning in the 1980s when he first warned US Congress about global warming - is the single most credible voice on the subject worldwide.

He paints a devastating but all-too-realistic picture of what will happen if we continue to follow the course we''re on. But he is also a hard-headed optimist, and shows that there is still time to take the urgent, strong action needed to save humanity.
