Eco Talk Book Club

Join the Eco-Talk Book Group on Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 6 p.m. to discuss James Hansen’s timely and important book, Storms of My Grandchildren: the Truth about the Coming Climate Catastrophe and Our Last Chance to Save Humanity.

Climatologist Hansen, director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and an internationally renowned global-warming expert, provides suggestions for attaining greenhouse gas reduction and strategies for reducing or eliminating fossil fuel use: "For the sake of our children and grandchildren, we cannot allow our government to continue to connive with the coal industry in subterfuges that allow dirty-coal use to continue." According to Hansen, the most crucial move would be creating a cost structure that escalates cost as carbon emissions increase.
