A cofounder of Greenpeace, he is the author of many books, including <em>Warriors of the Rainbow.</em> He lives in Toronto with his family. 01 eng 288 01 In 2000, <em>Time</em> magazine named Robert Hunter one of the 10 eco-heroes of the 20th century, recognizing him-along with the likes of Rachel Carson and Jacques Cousteau-as a pioneer in ecological activism and a cofounder of Greenpeace. In this book, Hunter draws on the experience of a lifetime to argue that time is running out for the Earth. He and many respected scientists believe that all environmental lines will be crossed around the year 2030, when climate change will be so extreme as to be irreversible and Thermageddon may ensue. Reviewing the evidence amassed by scientists around the world and cogently analyzing the politics surrounding the issue of climate change, Hunter also underscores the role each of us plays in global warming by virtue of the way we live as "energy mammoths." Part apology, part record of environmental activism, part indictment of the Carbon Club of energy interests, <em>Thermageddon</em> is also a stirring call for individuals and nations to change our climate-damaging habits. Hunter outlines why we should care about the future of our planet, and he shows how, if we act, we can stop our slide into catastrophe. 02 In this impassioned book, one of the founders of Greenpeace argues that 2030 is the year by which the Earth's climate change will become irreversible and urges a course of action to stop or slow global warming. 08 Hunter offers a healthy dose of good science. <em>Kirkus Review</em> 08 Hunter is a good writer and his wistful accounts of activism on the high seas, destruction of property in defense of the planet, folks who weld themselves to ship rudders, along with the history of Greenpeace . . . Makes for a good read.
