 April 22 marks the 52nd Earth Day celebration. If you wish to acknowledge the occasion with a thought provoking, information packed and highly readable book, I recommend Michael E. Mann’s, The New Climate War: The Fight to Take Back Our Planet (in print or audio). Michael reminds us that though there is certainly urgency we also still have agency. He states that the deniers are now a fringe group replaced by the fossil fuel benefiters and other inactivists who proclaim that it is too late to do anything so we may as well give up! Michael Mann contends there is a great deal we can do but we must do it now! For solid information one of his several favourite sites is, Skeptical Science. On Twitter look for Guardian Environment @guardianeco.
