About this product
Product Information
It is now widely recognized that global warming poses an existential threat to the world as serious as nuclear war. And yet, despite the urgency, despite UN engagement, governments have not stepped up to the plate. The world desperately needs a deeply committed leadership and program of action to deal with climate change. The global public's growing presentiment of the horrific impact of global warming has enormous potential to shift it into "emergency mode." In this context, pointing to America's WWII mobilization to battle the Fascist threat, Unprecedented Climate Mobilization urges and informs a full WWII-style climate mobilization, suggesting ways in which the United States can exercise leadership. This book shows how the American people have historically risen and adapted to "long emergencies", demonstrated in particular by President Roosevelt's ability to mobilize Americans a full two years before the United States declared war on Japan and Germany. Then, as an example of what is possible, US automakers became a cornerstone of the war effort; having built three million cars in 1941 they quickly converted their factories to making tanks and airplanes, producing only 139 passenger vehicles until the war ended in 1945. Today, a similar sweeping conversion of America's outdated energy system to clean energy could take place, if the political will were there. Unprecedented Climate Mobilization offers a comprehensive guide to citizens and governments on the scope of that engagement and how to generate that will. As in the WWII effort, it advocates that all sectors of society be engaged: media, business, labor, religious groups, government-national, state and local, and the public at large. This handbook suggests constructive leadership strategies for every sector of civil society, along with networking opportunities and information resources to help build the climate effort. This handbook surveys the lost arts of civil disobedience and nonviolent action to assemble effective tools that civil society will need-the kinds of tools that won civil rights, brought an end to the Vietnam War, served in anti-nuclear campaigns-and that have been updated by more recent movements such as Occupy. Not least, it suggests ways in which activists can maximize personal influence by using Twitter, Facebook and other s social media-tools now so powerful that governments and news agencies monitor carefully.

"This powerful book by Woodworth and Griffin is an inspiring rallying cry, a call to action grounded in the truth. It can, and must, spur a massive people-led climate insurgency... Like Naomi Klein's This Changes Everything, this book will be a guide for activists for many years to come." -- DR. JILL STEIN, 2016 presidential candidate for the Green Party of the United States, "In a time of unprecedented crisis, it's time for an unprecedented popular movement to solve it. Against the incredible odds we face, Woodworth and Griffin outline what it would look like for people in key sectors of civil society to shift into "emergency mode" and unleash the transformative power of climate truth by leading toward the WWII-scale effort we need to secure our future." MARGARET KLEIN SALAMON, Ph.D.,Director, The Climate Mobilization, "Read this to understand the challenge we face and what you yourself can do to help." -- Dr. Michael Mann, Prof. of Meteorology; Dir., Earth System Science Center, Penn State, "A very important book offering a detailed roadmap of the top-down climate mobilization, led by government, required to tackle climate change, together with a roadmap of the bottom-up mobilization by citizens using all available tools including social media." ASSAD W. RAZZOUK, CEO Sindicatum, Like World wars past, our only option is to mobilize and draw upon every tool at our disposal -- in this case, to achieve no less than the decarbonization of the global economy. If you want to understand the challenge we face and what you yourself can do to help insure a victorious outcome, read Unprecedented Climate Mobilization: A Handbook for Citizens and Their Governments." DR. MICHAEL MANN, Professor of Meteorology, Director, Earth System Science Center, Pennsylvania State University

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
