Description: In America's Climate Century, Iowa Senator Rob Hogg calls on Americans to make the fight against climate change our new national purpose. Climate change is the defining historical issue of the 21st Century. After the heat and drought of 2012, Hurricane Sandy, and all of the other recent climate disasters, it is time for America to take climate action. Having represented Cedar Rapids during an unprecedented flood that caused billions in damage in 2008, Senator Hogg brings a dose of reality to the issue of climate change. What happens this century, ever-worsening climate disasters or effective action to fight climate change, depends on the knowledge and action of every American. It depends on you. With a fresh, personal, accessible and straight-talking approach, this is the one book you need to read to understand why the 21st Century is America's climate century and how you can help.
