My book "Cooling a Fevered Planet" is now available http://stcc.be/GraphicVersion.html . A lively, irreverent and information packed picture book for grownups. The funniest book you will ever read that takes the climate crisis seriously.

Doug Henwood: "It's rare that a nuts and bolts realism is so inspiring." Dennis Hayes: "Intelligent, stimulating and provocative." Paul Baer: "Lipow's unique and sophisticated analysis combines detailed knowledge of energy systems with profound political understanding.He links the political economy of energy and the environment to that of the workplace and the economy as a whole, as well as to the politics of race, gender, and sexual orientation. He boldly connects the dots between the risk of climate change and systematic issues of power and oppression, showing how social transformations that are necessary as simple justice can also enable a dramatic gain in the efficiency of energy use. We should heed his warning that for environmentalists to win the critical fight against the climate crisis they must join with other democratic social movements for equality. Climate change activism can better succeed as one important cause among many in a larger movement than in isolation trying to make climate change 'the' issue."
