About the Book

The 3rd Degree: Frontline in Australia's Climate War, takes a look at the battle we have to have with ourselves to avert dangerously destructive, runaway climate change. Murray Hogarth sees climate change as humanity's greatest challenge and in this NOW Australia he tells his story: "I began reporting regularly on climate change as an environmental journalist over a decade ago. Back then a global warming story was treated as a curious theory only a couple of steps above wacky science fiction. Now it's the daily fare of mainstream political columnists, a compelling topic for economic debate with trillions of dollars at stake. When this book ends, in about 25,000 words time, Australia will be accelerating towards its inescapable climate change destiny. I'm calling that The 3rd Degree, the battleground on which we'll fight to avert truly disastrous impacts of global warming. This is a war we have to win, and we're all going to be conscripted. Welcome to the frontline." Murray Hogarth takes us inside Australia's major institutions - business, the government and community groups - and examines how we've all failed to heed the early warnings, what measures are being taking so far, and the massive escalation required to win the climate war.This is the fourth in the series of NOW Australia - new journalism on contemporary issues by Australia's leading writers and journalists.
