Description: "The escalating symptoms of global warming are startling: Hurricane Katrina, a rapidly disappearing Arctic, severe droughts and wildfires. Meanwhile, the leading expert at NASA warns that we have only ten years to reverse climate change, and the British government estimates that the financial impact will be greater than the Great Depression and both world wars - combined. It's no longer time to debate global warming, it's time to fight it." "Drawing on the experience of 1,400 Step It Up organizers in all fifty states, Bill McKibben - the author of the first major book on global warming, The End of Nature - and the Step It Up team explain how you can build the fight in your community college, or place of worship. Fight Global Warming Now offers the tools for your involvement in the mighty new movement that is confronting the most urgent challenge facing us today."--Jacket.
