“Hot”–a recommendation

One of the things that bugs me immensely is this country’s rampant denial  of the serious consequences of climate change.  Every time there is a serious winter storm, the nay-sayers smugly point out that “global warming” is a fiction cooked up by liberals to impede business development and short-term hedonism and greed.  Of course the frigid, brutal storms that are occurring more often these days are caused by global climate changes resulting from human activities here on earth.  (I never use the term “global warming” any more.  Instead I say “climate change.”)

Anyway, in Sunday’s S.F. Chronicle there was a review of a new book on the subject titled “Hot.”  From what I read in the review and then on Amazon “First Pages,” this book should be required reading for everyone. 

Go to this link and click on the “Click to LOOK INSIDE!” area.  Then using the choices on the left side of the screen choose “First Pages.”  This will give you the first 28 pages or so, with a couple of pages omitted.  If you have an Amazon account you can sign in and go up to about page 75, with some pages omitted.

Let’s all do our part, however small as it may seem.
