Stop Global Warming

In accessible and inspiring prose, leading environmental activist Laurie David explains why global warming is the most urgent issue facing our planet. Newly revised and updated, Stop Global Warming turns headlines into action, providing testimony of David's own grassroots efforts to sound the alarm for the American people. Rousing statements from those who have joined her Virtual March to Stop Global Warming, including Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Leonardo DiCaprio, Walter Cronkite, Laird Hamilton, and many others, show that this issue transcends age, gender, and political classification. Required reading for the preservation of the twenty-first century, Stop Global Warming is an important book that will bring out the activist in everyone and inspire all who read it to do something - today.
