The age of global warming has arrived, marked by rising sea levels, extreme weather, and devastating forest fires. Dire warnings are abundant, yet it has taken an astonishingly long time for the crisis to be acknowledged. In this groundbreaking book, climate scientist Peter Stott unveils the intense struggle to gain international recognition for what scientists have known for decades: human activity is the primary driver of climate change.
Spanning continents and facing opposition from skeptical governments, prominent climate change deniers, and shadowy lobbyists, Hot Air is an urgent account of the science's development, repeated sabotage, and the urgent need for humanity to act in the fight against climate change.
Stott delves into the historical background, detailing the efforts of scientists who have been advocating for climate change awareness for decades. He exposes the tactics used by deniers and lobbyists to undermine the scientific consensus and delay meaningful action.
The book also highlights the devastating consequences of inaction, emphasizing the risks to human societies, ecosystems, and the planet as a whole. Stott offers a clear roadmap for addressing the crisis, advocating for a shift towards renewable energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting sustainable practices.
Hot Air is a powerful testament to the resilience and determination of scientists in the face of adversity. It serves as a wake-up call to all of us, urging us to recognize the gravity of the situation and take immediate action to protect our planet for future generations.
This book has been shortlisted for the Royal Society Science Book Prize 2022 and the RSL Christopher Bland Prize 2022, recognizing its significance in the field of climate science and environmental research.
