Interview with 'Kivalina' Author Christine Shearer - Trivia Challenge For Free Copy
But there is denial of the science, then there is denial of the implications - that we need to transform how we live. I agree with activists like Bill McKibben and scientists like James Hansen. A problem as severe as climate change requires a mass social movement. Because what we are dealing with is a small group of people that want to treat climate change like it's just bad PR, to prevent social change. That is incredibly dangerous and totally unacceptable.

The "social change" is more important to Christine than climate change.
We underestimate denial. Even scientist can deny.
The enormity of the conclusion - AGW, models that make human life unsustainable in just a few generations and the biggest denial is how we permit this to continue, this is tremendously difficult to comprehend.
Extensive PR campaigns, and the comfortable momentum of carbon capitalism makes it very hard to face reality.
Thanks for this review....I want to read her book.
