CLIMATE CODE RED: THE CASE FOR EMERGENCY ACTION
Book ID/图书代码： 11980508B21317
English Summary/英文概要： In this meticulously documented call-to-action, David Spratt and Philip Sutton reveal extensive scientific evidence that the global warming crisis is far worse than official reports and national governments have indicated — and that we’re almost at the point of no return.
Serious climate-change impacts are already happening, more rapidly and at lower global temperature-increases than projected. As the USA’s most eminent climate scientist, James Hansen, told 15,000 of his colleagues at a conference in December 2007, significant ‘climate tipping’ points have already been passed. These include large ice-sheet disintegration, significant sea-level rises of up to five metres this century, and devastating species loss. The Arctic will soon be free of summer sea-ice — a century ahead of projections by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projections — and the Greenland ice sheet is in imminent danger.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： David Spratt & Philip Sutton強烈的號召各組織，對其揭露出各種的科學數據證明來顯示全球暖化的危機比照各個國家的官方報告，其環境影響是更加嚴重的。
兩位作者分析各種諸如氣候、南北兩極的冰層、溫度每年2至2.4度的提高，如果再不採取一些緊急應變措施，地球已岌岌可危。
我們要如何防範全球暖化?

‘The stark fact is that we face a global sustainability emergency. But it is impossible to design realistic solutions unless we first understand and accept the size of the problem. Climate Code Red is a sober, balanced analysis of this challenge, unadorned by political spin, proposing a realistic framework to tackle the emergency.’
美國太空總署氣候研究的首席科學家 詹姆士‧韓森博士 (Dr James Hansen)
Dr James Hansen, director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Institute for Space Studies
‘Recent greenhouse gas emissions place the Earth perilously close to dramatic climate change that could run out of our control, with great dangers for humans and other creatures. There is already enough carbon in the Earth’s atmosphere for massive ice sheets such as West Antarctica to eventually melt away, and ensure that sea levels will rise metres in coming decades. Climate zones such as the tropics and temperate regions will continue to shift, and the oceans will become more acidic, endangering much marine life. We must begin to move rapidly to the post-fossil fuel clean energy system. Moreover, we must remove some carbon that has collected in the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution. This is the story that Climate Code Red tells with conviction. It is a compelling case for recognising, as the UN secretary-general has said, that we face a climate emergency.’
Tim Helweg-Larsen, Director, Public Interest Research Centre, UK
‘Climate Code Red applies an uncommon degree of common-sense to the latest climate science, and is a well-researched basis for building a truly meaningful response. It makes it abundantly clear that greenhouse-gas emissions have to stop entirely, and that even this must sit in a larger plan to manage our destabilised earth-atmosphere system.’
Senator Christine Milne, Australian Greens Party
‘David Spratt and Philip Sutton have provided a valuable and sobering contribution to the policy challenge of climate change at a pivotal moment, with their key insight that the expectation of failure has become the norm in climate policy. Climate Code Red is a significant contribution which should be read by anyone seriously contemplating how to set greenhouse emission-reduction targets.’
Dr Peter Carter, Canada
‘Having been involved with global warming climate change as a researcher in environmental health for 25 years, I can say that this is without question by far the best book to date on this issue — the first book to have the integrity to say how the situation really is.’
Dr Joseph Retter
‘This is a frightening but clear-eyed, well-informed, and sober consideration of the weight of evidence and argument on the imminent and quite possibly cataclysmic impacts of climate change. It is a wake-up call and antidote to the sanitised reporting on the state of the planet and global warming. As a social and environmental psychologist reader, this critical overview is impressive, comprehensive, and convincing.

About the Author/作者介绍： David Spratt is a Melbourne businessman, climate-policy analyst, and co-founder of Carbon Equity, which advocates personal carbon allowances as the most fair and equitable means of rapidly reducing carbon emissions. He has extensive advocacy experience in the peace movement, and in eveloping community-campaign communication and marketing strategies.
Philip Sutton is the convener of the Greenleap Strategic Institute, a non-profi t environmental-strategy think tank and advisory organisation promoting the very rapid achievement of global and local ecological sustainability.
He is also the founder and director of strategy for Green Innovations, and an occasional university lecturer on global warming science and strategies for sustainability.
