How To Save Our Planet: The Facts
UCL Professor of Earth System Science Mark Maslin (UCL Geography) aims to arm everyone 'from the pub to Parliament' with facts from his new book on climate change so that we can act together to save the planet. How to Save Our Planet: The Facts, published today (6 May 2021) , is packed with easily digestible facts and figures on everything from the history of the Earth to the power of the individual and government solutions to tackle the climate crisis. The book has already caught the attention of Virgin Radio DJ Chris Evans, who told Professor Maslin how both he and his children "love it!" Interviewed by Chris on his breakfast radio show, Professor Maslin said: "I got really frustrated reading lots of these worthy books on climate change. The big, thick ones, the doom and gloom, and I have to confess that I've written a couple myself! "I went, 'How do I write something that my mates down the pub, or who I play football with, would want to read and actually get something out of?' Suddenly, this book came to me, where I used single sentences, double sentences, and made it all very factual and hopefully really easy to read. "You can dive into any chapter you want. You can read it backwards. It's just more user-friendly than most other books." Professor Maslin is a global expert on climate science.
