Monbiot starts off with the question: what will it take to eliminate virtually all carbon emissions? He covers housing, transport, energy and consumption, explaining what technologies and know-how we should use. He also explains what technologies we should avoid, as they are false solutions (like hydrogen cars, biofuels and so on).
The book is also very useful in its critique of climate denialism. Monbiot explains how the denial industry appeared from the ruins of another denial industry linked to tobacco.
Also noteworthy is the critique of corporate greenwash. Monbiot exposes the false arguments given by the auto and oil industries to claim they are doing their part.
The only critique I make of the book is that, although politically engaged, it does little to offer a guideline for action. That is, Monbiot explains very well what should be done but he fails to elaborate on how we, as citizens, could make the necessary change.
