Storms of My Grandchildren: The Truth About the Climate Catastrophe and Our Last Chance to Save Humanity  

James Hansen

The director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and a professor in Columbia University’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Dr. James Hansen developed one of the world’s first climate models and was an advisor to Nobel Laureate Al Gore on An Inconvenient Truth. He frequently appears before Congress as an expert witness on environmental issues and was notoriously censured by the Bush administration for speaking out about the need to curtail carbon emissions. In Storms of My Grandchildren—his first book—Dr. Hansen clearly explains the science behind global warming and argues that politicians have failed to connect policy with the science. He calls for immediate grassroots action to save humanity from the dire and imminent fate presaged by the title of his book. “When the history of the climate crisis is written, Hansen will be seen as the scientist with the most powerful and consistent voice calling for intelligent action to preserve our planet's environment” (Al Gore, Time).
