Overview

When Al Gore won the 2007 Nobel Prize, the battle over global warming changed arenas--from the scientific to the political. The central battle wasn't about whether to act, but about how to act in time--without driving up energy prices and crippling American industry. Since then, the Arctic sea ice has melted and the global economy has crumbled, widening the perilous gulf between what our scientists insist is necessary and what our politicians say is possible. And one journalist has had a ringside seat. In Climate Wars, Eric Pooley presents the first-ever narrative of the American campaign to save the planet, a gripping story of the most important political battle of this generation--one that has taken place largely out of sight of the public and even the media. Through his access to Al Gore as well as to all of the most important players, from environmental leaders, grassroots activists, and scientists to members of Congress and corporate CEOs, Pooley lays bare the politics that will either chew up and spit out meaningful action or--miraculously--allow it to happen.
