"Hot bravely takes aim at perhaps the greatest climate threat of all: apathy." Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation
"Hertsgaard s answers . . . are lucid, realistic, and offer reason for hope." Christian Science Monitor
For twenty years, Mark Hertsgaard has investigated global warming as a journalist, but the full truth did not hit home until he became a father and, soon thereafter, learned that climate change was bound to worsen for decades to come. Hertsgaard's daughter is part of what he has dubbed "Generation Hot" the two billion young people worldwide who will spend the rest of their lives coping with climate disruption. Drawing on reporting from around the world, Hot is a call to action that injects hope and solutions into a debate characterized by doom and gloom and offers a blueprint for how all of us ? parents, communities, countries ? can navigate an unavoidable new era.
"[Hot s] urgent message is one that citizens and governments cannot afford to ignore." Boston Globe
MARK HERTSGAARD, called "one of America s finest reporters" by Barbara Ehrenreich, covers climate change for Vanity Fair, The Nation, and L'Espresso. He is the author of six books, which have been translated into sixteen languages, including Earth Odyssey."
