In
his new book Musil attempts to redefine environmentalism and to enlarge the
parameters of the environmental movement to include Americans from all walks of
life. He demonstrates that all citizens are connected to the climate crisis:
parents concerned about their children’s health, labor organizers, business
leaders, religious Americans, academics and youth. Hope for a Heated Planet includes the scientific and
historical facts necessary to put global warming in context. It also provides
practical ways an individual can help alleviate the crisis and explores sustainable
energy solutions. Musil does not just point fingers, but seeks to find answers,
to broaden understanding and, most importantly, to spread hope. "Hope for a Heated Planet is an
important and timely book. Musil not only makes a strong case that a real
climate movement is underway, he shows how a public health perspective can help
to accelerate this hopeful new movement." –Jonathan
Isham, Editor of Ignition: What You Can Do to Fight Global Warming and
Spark a Movement
