Climate change- it is a difficult subject and hard for people to evaluate dispassionately because it entails deep political and industrial implications, and because it arises from the very core processes of our civilisation's success. Right now our fate is in our hands, for we are the weather makers, and we already possess the tools required to avoid catastrophic climate change.
With a little help from you, right now, the developing giants of Asia might even avoid the full carbon catastrophe in which we the industrialized world, find ourselves so deeply mired. We are the generation fated to live the most interesting of times, for we are now the weather makers and the future of biodiversity and civilization hangs in our actions.
What does climate change mean?
How will global warming affect our lives?
Is it the cause of wilder storms and more frequent drought?
Are these events inevitable?
Tim Flannery makes these urgent issues completely accessible in The Weather Makers, now available to you on CD . He tells the fascinating story of climate spanning millions of years to help us understand the predicaments we face. By burning fossil fuels we are increasing the levels of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, causing our planet to become warmer.
Every nation is affected differently by these changes but we have one thing in common ash we are now the weather makers, and the new climate we are creating threatens the future of our civilization.
Tim Flannery shows how we can all help to combat these problems. You may be surprised at how much you can do. The Weather Makers CD will change your life.
