I recently read "Storms of My Grandchildren: The Truth About the Coming Climate Catastrophe and Our Last Chance to Save Humanity." The book is by James Hansen of NASA, who is widely regarded as the leading climatologist in the United States and perhaps the world.

It is time for more people to read it and act on its message.

There is much to be done. The sooner we act, the better chance there is to calm those storms that might otherwise affect our grandchildren.
