Hell and High Water: Global Warming–the Solution and the Politics–and What We Should Do
Hell and High Water: Global Warming–the Solution and the Politics–and What We Should Do – Review
There have been noble books on the science of global warming, although none as clear, thorough and accessible as Hell and High Water. Romm paints a realistic film of the kind of future we can expect if we don’t take major action, and he dispatches the skeptics and contrarians convincingly. If your “hair’s not on fire” after simply reading this book, you’re weren’t giving attention. There have also been some very noble books written on the politics of global warming, but again none as good as Romm’s. Hell and High Water describes in free language backed up with comprehensive research how we finally got where we are, and how we can begin finally moving forward. And there have been some very useful summaries of the technological and policy solutiuons we want to pursue, but again, Romm’s is the best I’ve seen, and I’ve quickly followed this issue closely for years. This is a must widely read for anyone who needs to understand the issue, the politics, and the solutions. And by the time you finish Romm’s book, you’ll think that should be everyone. It’s a book that will scare the hell out of you, subsequently tell you what you can do about it.
