Written by Guy Dauncey with Patrick Mazza. Published by New Society Publishers, 2001. Description: |
| Stormy Weather is
the first and only book to put simple, effective solutions to global warming in
the hands of ordinary citizens, communities, businesses, power utilities, state
governments, and national leaders. In a clear and understandable style, Stormy Weather explains why we and the planet have reached this over-heated situation and how scientists predict "runaway" climate change will affect the Earth and our lives. The solutions to global warming revolve around 12 core methods of reducing our use of fossil fuels and filling our energy needs with solar, wind, tidal, and bio-fuels. Each user-friendly solution is organized on two facing pages with a description, illustrations, quotations, resources, and a detailed "how-to" section. Solutions are grouped by social sector-Individuals; Citizen Groups; Towns and Cities; State Government; Power Utilities; Businesses; Oil, Coal Gas Corporations; Automobile Corporations; National Governments; and Developing Nations — breaking-up these vital planet-saving tasks into manageable activities for both individuals and larger organizations. From riding your bike to the office to developing sustainable transportation infrastructures, and from launching a tree-planting initiative in your community to negotiating a global forests protection treaty, this critical book will help anyone and everyone — on a small or grand scale — to participate in cooling our planet’s troubled atmosphere. “A wonderful contribution that provides clear guidance on climate solutions – 101 of them, in fact. Positive action is long overdue and this exciting road map will help move us forward.” – David Suzuki, Scientist, Author, Broadcaster “...an invaluable book: science and solutions, credible and accessible – a must read survival guide for Planet Earth.” – Elizabeth May, Sierra Club of CanadaAbout the authors: Guy Dauncey is a sustainable development consultant and the publisher of EcoNews, a monthly environmental newsletter. The author of EarthFuture and After the Crash, he lives in Victoria, British Columbia. Patrick Mazza is a writer and research director with Climate Solutions, based in Olympia, Washington. |
