While some of these things can be useful,they are dwarfed by one big thing that simply has to happen very soon if we're to avoid major environmental breakdown: curtailing the activities of the fossil fuel industry.Full of counter-intuitive statistics and positive suggestions for individual and collective action,this ingenious book will change how you view the climate crisis.

MEDIA REVIEWS
Fast paced and energetic,this is a very readable book with myriad interesting facts... ultimately it is successful in forcing us to focus more sharply on the bigger pictureA real breath of fresh air. Punchy,provocative and wonderfully readable. Assaad Razzouk not only shares his knowledge and experience,he also allows his impatience to shine through. The result is exactly the kind of no-nonsense clarity that's too often lacking in the climate agenda.If you're in any doubt about the duplicity,the obfuscation and the lies - just the sheer extent of the fight being waged by Big Oil to keep us hooked on fossil fuels - Assaad Razzouk's eye-popping and essential book will sort you out.Saving the Planet Without the Bullshit is a refreshing and provocative look at what needs to happen to overcome the climate crisis. A must-read for anyone concerned about avoiding the climate catastrophe.Beautifully written and very approachable. Saving the Planet Without the Bullshit covers many of the key issues facing the world with an easy comprehensibility and substantial research.
