  This is a hugely important book. It highlights why we must reduce CO2 emmissions by 90% by 2030 and how we should go about it. 'Heat' shows that the massive reductions required can be achieved without comprimising our quality of life. We just need the political will to tackle the problem properly. Monbiot deals in facts, not wishful thinking, and this book is the most comprehensive overview of the global warming problem to date.
