"Warnings of the dangers associated with global warming and climate change have been part of our culture for more than forty years. Its ill-effects are covered in the news, are the focus of scientific studies, and are on the lips of every political candidate - yet many of these events are considered unconnected catastrophes in the minds of ordinary people. Why has the public been seemingly so slow to see the big picture and demand change?" "Hope for a Heated Planet uncovers the most pressing challenges facing society today, from the massive fossil fuel lobby to the enlightened corporations that are joining the movement to "go green." Readers learn about the tremendous potential of renewable energy sources - wind, solar, and biofuel - and the startling conclusions of experts who say society can do away entirely with fossil fuels. Musil approaches global warming from a public health perspective, identifying the problems, solutions, and alternatives as well as examining the social, cultural, and political factors and assessing how to best change behavior and communicate this change to the masses."--BOOK JACKET.
