Heat: How to Stop the Planet from Burning
How do we save the planet before it’s too late? Monbiot is one of the very few who actually has a specific plan to reduce emissions by 90% within 30 years. If we don’t hit these numbers, if we settle for less, we’re all cooked. And believe me, our kids will point the fingers directly at us and ask us why we didn’t pay attention to people like Monbiot.

This has been a gradual and highly fulfilling process over the last decade. Watching my two daughters also choose a plant-based diet, with vast improvements in their mood and energy, has also been deeply satisfying.

The Perfect Formula Diet has its roots in a normal-weight teen who thought she was chubby and gross. Her love-hate relationship with food intensified over the years, culminating in binge eating and mounting obesity.

Opposed to reading about climate change and how we should change it, this book gives you the tools to actually do something -- maybe it's letters to send to friends are stickers to put on your appliances, just to name a few.

Although Al Gore sounded the alarm with "An Inconvenient Truth," we have been in dire need of ways in which we can translate this truth into personal action. Thomas M. Kastigan makes the science behind climate change tangible, understandable and, therefore, more manageable for us to tackle. We are here. How livable "here" becomes is in our own hands.

What a perfect Christmas present!! This extraordinary book takes readers on a remarkable journey to the world's most extraordinary and endangered locations. Since 1972, sites of natural, historic, and cultural significance have been designated as World Heritage sites by UNESCO. Although this designation offers some protection, these sites are still at risk today from both natural and man-made causes, such as earthquakes in Peru, civil strife in the Congo, and unsustainable tourism in Cambodia. Discover the dramatic stories behind 101 of the most remarkable and endangered sites from every corner of the world, including: The Great Wall of China; Serengeti; London; Machu Picchu; Petra; Angkor; Prague; Minaret of Jam; Kilimanjaro; Great Barrier Reef; and more. A portion of all proceeds from this book will go to support the conservation of World Heritage sites. By Alonzo C. Addison; hardcover.

These cards have beautiful quotes with equally beautiful illustrations, and are green to boot! The cards are recycled, the company has excellent environmental plans and 10% of profits are donated to two climate change organizations.

I haven't read this book, but I did read Nikiforuk's last book, Pandemonium, and was blown away by it. Nikiforuk is the rare author who can take science and complex issues and write it into easily understandable and yet not dumbed down prose. For those of you that don't know about the Tar Sands in Alberta.... oy. Its UGLY. Its BIG. Its almost singlehandedly driving the Canadian economy right now. So its a tough issue. I can't wait to read this and see how Nikiforuk grapples with the pros and cons.

So right there he's got my vote. But the book is a no-nonsense review of what is really going on in the field of climate change science, and no one can tell it better than Weaver. At times a bit sciency, but never over your head, he tells the story with a Canadian focus. I particularly enjoyed the overview he gives of journalistic balance and how peer-reviewed science should be an exception, instead of giving an very small minority of (and might I add INSANE) climate deniers equal voice in the media, thus confusing the public about whether or not climate change is even happening! (IT IS). A great read, if you're not sure about climate change - READ IT. If you think you know everything there is to know - READ IT. Good stuff.

Studies of human decision making shows that people, even though they believe climate change is a real issue, often are not willing to undertake even minor alterations in behaviour because they don't face the realities of climate change every day. This book could scare the *@#%# out of them and make them realize that there ARE very grave futures for all of us if we don't act NOW on climate change. Great book.

It features Barack Obama as Prometheus, once again leading humanity in the channeling the power of fire - only this time, it's to channel the heat of global warming. A pro-Obama t-shirt with smarts, and it's made in the USA so as to keep labor local and stop the flow of money to manufacturers who try to evade environmental regulations.

Well the biggest impact you have is from your house, your car, your flights, and your investments. We can't consume your way to stop global warming, but you can invest in the green economy. And why not? The Winslow Green Growth Fund has beaten almost any other fund out there...it is Kiplinger's top rated Socially Responsible Fund. 5-star Morningstar. The fund doesn't just 'screen', it actually targets companies that it believes will be the future in a green economy. But don't take my word from it. Do the research yourself.
