Summary:
"By 1979, we knew nearly everything we understand today about climate change;including how to stop it. Over the next decade, a handful of scientists, politicians, and strategists, led by two unlikely heroes, risked their careers in a desperate, escalating campaign to convince the world to act before it was too late. [This] is their story"; ---Publisher marketing.
