Synopsis

The book is intended to encourage and inform readers on how they can help fight anthropogenic global warming and climate change, and is a more in-depth analysis than the film. The book describes how humans have further damaged the environment since the release of An Inconvenient Truth, and makes more predictions about what will happen in the near future if humans fail to act. The book also describes advancements that have been made so far in the effort against global warming, such as developments in alternative energy sources. The book explores other aspects of the climate crisis, such as climate change denial and the corporate influence of money in politics, and ends by reasoning that it is not too late to solve the crisis.

Reception
gollark: It's not like it could do much.
gollark: We could just shut down the osmarks.tk servers, and the osmarks.tk redundant servers, and the osmarks.tk fallback processing node on my old tablet thing, and the osmarks.tk botnet running on a bunch of poorly secured printers and TVs, and the osmarks.tk satellite network.
gollark: And apioeuruhazards, which... are wide.
gollark: Oh, and apiograpohazards, which can write.
gollark: Apiomanthanohazards means they can learn, apiosophohazards means they're... wise or something.
