Adrian Parr is a friend and colleague of mine at UC and an absolutely tireless activist for, and thoughtful advocate of, better environmental policies and practices. I haven't yet read this book, but if it reflects her thinking on the subject, I'm sure it's well-researched, heart-felt, and novel.

One of the largest, most comprehensive reports on climate change is due out soon.

One of the largest, most comprehensive reports on climate change is due out soon. The group responsible for it has released a teaser report, and virtually everything in it is absolutely terrifying.
