This meticulously documented call-to-action reveals extensive scientific evidence that the global warming crisis is far worse than officially indicated and that were almost at the point of no return.

Serious climate-change impacts are already happening: large ice-sheets are disintegrating, sea-level rises will reach 5 metres this century, and we are seeing devastating species loss.

It is no longer a case of how much more we can safely emit, but whether we can stop emissions and produce a deliberate cooling before the Earths climate system reaches a point beyond any hope of human restoration.

These imperatives are incompatible with politics as usual and business as usual we face a sustainability emergency that urgently requires a clear break from the politics of failure-inducing compromise.
