[Mike]

This book has many great ideas on how to reverse global warming trends, and enough examples of the poor choices of the Bush administration to make anyone indignant. This book will piss you off and inspire you at the same time. Laurie David, the author, is the wife of Larry David who wrote Seinfeld/ Curb Your Enthusiasm. The one drawback is that many of the statistics are not cited and require further research, but, it's a good starting point for understanding what to do to stop environmental degredation and global warming.

Short guide that covers protecting the environment with an emphasis on global warming. Instead of debating it and pissing in the wind, society just needs to use common sense and clean up our acts, consequently cleaning up our planet for our children and their children and beyond....hopefully.
