“A brilliant book, and one that might just change the world. By far the best overview of climate science and its implications for our planet that I've ever read.”

– Tim Flannery
Chief Councillor, Australian Climate Council
Author of The Weather Makers

“John Berger has produced a critically needed and eloquent compendium of not only the crisis of global warming, but of the many interdependent shortages and crises—of financial risks, and of land, water, cultural preservation and of economic opportunity for the poor—that all exist today and that conspire to challenge us to be better stewards of the planet.”

– Daniel M. Kammen
Distinguished Professor of Energy
University of California, Berkeley

"I applaud Climate Peril for showing so clearly that climatic disruption is the consuming issue of our time and our response in the next few years will determine the fate of this civilization. At some point not far away, the corporate and political venality Climate Peril characterizes so clearly becomes criminal neglect of duty as costs of the disruption soar and effects become irreversible."

– George M. Woodwell
Founder, Director Emeritus, and Senior Scientist
Woods Hole Research Center

“Climate Peril should be required reading for the remaining climate skeptics – if, indeed, there remain any whose views are not shaped purely by the sources of their paychecks. In the second volume of his trilogy, John Berger continues to probe the climate issue with unusual insight and clarity.”

– Denis Hayes
President, The Bullitt Foundation
Director, Solar Energy Research Institute (1979-1981)
Coordinator, Earth Day 1970

“Climate Peril is an excellent primer on the causes and effects of climate change, which, as John Berger notes, imperils our very existence and that of all natural systems on which we depend.”

– Lester R. Brown
President, Earth Policy Institute
Author of Full Planet, Empty Plates

“Climate Peril is precisely what is needed: a clear-eyed, accessible account of climate change and its implications for the future of life on Earth and for that matter, of civilization itself. This should be required reading for all who care about future generations.”

“Climate Peril provides a comprehensive and accurate, yet very readable account of the climate change threat. If you are aware of the problem, but not yet convinced that it presents a near and present danger, read this call to arms. You'll understand why it is that our ongoing burning of fossil fuels, left unchecked, we imperil our health, access to food and fresh water, national security, and the stability of our environment. And you'll see why there is still time to act to avert a global catastrophe.”

– Michael Mann
Distinguished Professor of Meteorology, Penn State University
Director of the Penn State Earth System Science Center
Author of The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars

“Climate Peril is a lucid primer on what may be the greatest challenge human beings have ever faced. If we make no further moves against climate change than the timid steps taken so far, the world is due for something potentially as catastrophic as a slow-motion nuclear war. Even if we do do everything we possibly can, we're still in for big trouble. John J. Berger has done a great service by describing what confronts us in a thorough, careful way that a lay person can understand.”

– Adam Hochschild

Cofounder, Mother Jones

"Climate Peril is a compelling, accessible, and accurate summary of the climate crisis. Highly recommended!"

– Jonathan G. Koomey
Research Fellow, Steyer-Taylor Center for Energy Policy and Finance

Author of Cold Cash, Cool Climate: Science-based Advice for Ecological Entrepreneurs

“Seven billion of us—growing by 200,000 net per day, and increasing their demands for consumption at an even faster rate – are driving the climate upward rapidly and unpredictably. This book, and the work of which it is a part, clearly illuminate the dilemma that we face together, its severe effects on biodiversity and the functioning of our planet. Climate Peril thus lays the foundation for understanding the actions we must take to begin building a sustainable world for the future. Highly recommended!”

– Peter H. Raven
President Emeritus, Missouri Botanical Garden

“Never has a book been so vitally important. Politicians are looking the other way while global warming is staring them in the face. We the people urgently need to become fully informed, rise up as one to challenge, educate and pressure our elected representatives so they will exert ultimate responsibility for the future of our children, grandchildren, and 30 million species that co-habit the planet. Read Climate Peril, then act.”

– Helen Caldicott, M.D.
President, The Helen Caldicott Foundation
Physicians for Social Responsibility (former president)

“Read Climate Peril and you will become well informed about what probably is the greatest threat ever faced by civilization.”

– Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich
