Our choice : how we can solve the climate crisis

Al Gore has been a passionate advocate of action to halt climate change for many years.

In his best-selling book, "An Inconvenient Truth", he wrote about the urgent need to address the problems of climate change, presenting comprehensive facts and information on all aspects of global warming in a direct, thoughtful and compelling way, using explanatory diagrams and dramatic photos to clarify and highlight key issues.

Adopting the same lucid technique, "Solutions", he proposes solutions at every level of our lives, from the personal and local to the national and political to the area of international policy and law.

For this young adult edition, the text has been edited down from 320 to 192 pages, with an 11-14-year-old readership in mind, so sections aimed specifically at adults (e.g. insurance implications, investing in energy and political material) will be omitted in favour of clear text, appropriate photographs and easily understandable graphs.

The overall aim is to gear the content to the people who will in fact be dealing with global warming throughout their lives.
