Hot

I recently started reading Mark Hertsgaard's book, Hot: The Next Fifty Years on Earth, which is so frightening and depressing I can hardly keep going with it...but like Bill McKibben's Eaarth, it also seems like the only book I should be reading at the moment.

Why aren't we all campaigning for intelligent climate legislation?  Why haven't I joined the Citizen's Climate Lobby yet?  Why, for the sake of my six-year-old son, aren't I doing more about climate change?  

Because I feel powerless?  

That's not a good enough reason.
