''Climate Code Red: The Case for Emergency Action'' is a 2008 book which presents scientific evidence that the global warming crisis is worse than official reports and national governments have so far indicated. The book argues that we are facing a "sustainability emergency" that requires a clear break from business-as-usual politics. The authors explain that emergency action to address climate change is not so much a radical idea as an indispensable course we must embark upon.〔(Code Red: The Book )〕 ''Climate Code Red'' draws heavily on the work of a large number of climate scientists, including James E. Hansen.〔(The Hansen Challenge )〕 The key themes of ''Climate Code Red'' are: *"Our goal is a safe-climate future – we have no right to bargain away species or human lives." *"We are facing rapid warming impacts: the danger is immediate, not just in the future." *"For a safe climate future, we must take action now to stop emissions and to cool the earth." *"Plan a large-scale transition to a post-carbon economy and society." *"Recognise a climate and sustainability emergency, because we need to move at a pace far beyond business and politics as usual".〔(Key themes )〕 Co-author David Spratt is a Melbourne businessman, climate-policy analyst, and co-founder of the Carbon Equity network. Co-author Philip Sutton is convener of the Greenleap Strategic Institute and Assistant Convenor of the Climate Emergency Network.〔(Climate Code Red: the Case for Emergency Action )〕 The book was launched by the Governor of Victoria, Professor David de Kretser in Parliament House in Melbourne, Victoria, on July 17, 2008.〔(Climate code red ), Greenlivingpedia〕 ==See also== *List of Australian environmental books *''Requiem for a Species'' *''Greenhouse Solutions with Sustainable Energy'' : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Climate Code Red」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
