The fifth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is nearly finished. With repeated warnings from scientists about the growing dangers of climate change, have you ever wondered why governments and societies can't find the gumption to stop it? If so, you might want to read WHAT'S WRONG WITH CLIMATE POLITICS AND HOW TO FIX IT (Polity Press), now available at major libraries and as an e-book. Here's what some scholars and reviewers have been saying about it: "'Fixing' climate politics is a near-impossible task, but Paul Harris points to a way forward that does hold out some hope. His clearly written book will also be useful as an introduction to the problem of climate change and the politics associated with it." Peter Singer, Princeton University "I very much enjoyed reading this book. It is well written, accessible, and engaging, and packed full of ideas and observations about the challenges of climate politics." Neil Carter, University of York "Well-written ... an excellent, easily understood review of the sorry status of international cooperation to find a global solution to climate change." Donald Brown, Widener University "From front cover to concluding punchline, with brilliant insights in between, this is a great book - exactly what is needed to reinvigorate a stale climate debate." Times Higher Education "A great virtue of the book is its exceptionally clear structure ... Harris's mix of cultural and ethical change is certainly a key component in the sources of transformation we need to focus our attention on." Journal of Global Faultlines "For a student or interested citizen wishing to delve deeper into some of the issues behind the current climate policy impasse, this well researched book offers an accessible and engaging read." LSE Review of Books "What's Wrong with Climate Politics and How to Fix It is a very good book of workable solutions." Los Angeles Review of Books "A carefully researched and well-presented work."
