Robert K. Musil, who led the Nobel Peace Prize-winning organization Physicians for Social Responsibility, explains that a growing new climate movement can produce unprecedented change-in the economy, public health, and home-while saving the planet. Musil draws on personal experience and compelling data in this practical and rigorous analysis of the causes and cures for global warming. The book presents all the players in the most pressing challenge facing society today, from the massive fossil fuel lobby to the enlightened corporations that are joining the movement to "go green." Musil thoroughly explains 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. He tells readers about the engaged politicians, activists, religious groups, and students who are already working together against climate change. But the future depends, Musil insists, on what changes ordinary citizens make. Through personal choices and political engagement, he shows how readers can cut carbon emissions and create green communities where they live. With practical and realistic solutions, Hope for a Heated Planet inspires readers to be accountable and enables them to usher in an age of sustainability for future generations. 606 $aGlobal warming 606 $aClimatic changes$zUnited States 606 $aGlobal warming$xHealth aspects 606 $aCarbon dioxide$xPhysiological effect 606 $aGreen movement 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGlobal warming. 615 0$aClimatic changes 615 0$aGlobal warming$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aCarbon dioxide$xPhysiological effect. 615 0$aGreen movement. 676 $a363.738/74 700 $aMusil$b Robert K.$f1943-$01032803 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454161303321 996 $aHope for a heated planet$92450863 997 $aUNINA
