This is a journalist's and a campaigner's attempt to take the abstract of the science of climate change and tell some of the stories of the people across the globe whose lives and livelihoods are being affected. First published in 2004, it is to an extent a reaction to floods in the UK in 2000 and 2002, but more examples of extremes in weather from recent years are just more examples of the same. I wouldn't say this book told me anything I didn't already at least something about, but I don't think I'll ever stop being shocked at the greed and callousness of the fossil fuel industry. ( )
