Book Review: Global Warming Handbook for Action
Summary: 4 Stars
Bill Mckibben and students have written a good handbook for activists and potential activists on how to gain public attention on the issue of global warming. The book describes how the "Step It Up" campaign began, and how they operated on a shoestring budget, with few organizers and little time. (The Step It Up campaign is a public awareness effort at the grass roots level to convince congress to pass laws to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by the year 2050.) I had not heard of the Step It Up campaign before reading this book, so it's questionable on how effective their efforts were. As a "how-to" type book, I'm guessing it might be useful if you've never participated in an activist group before (as I have not). If you have already participated in the Step It Up campaign, this book is probably not necessary for you to read.
The book contains very little climate change science, or even descriptions on what climate change may bring if not controlled. It is definitely a quick read on ideas for community activism.
