A GOOD WAR Mobilizing Canada for the Climate Emergency

Climate activist Seth Klein issues a bold challenge to Canada (and the rest of the world): Mobilize immediately to meet the challenge of climate change. He uses as his paradigm Canada's mobilization for WWII. Narrator John Cleland conveys the author's earnestness and sense of urgency unambiguously and makes the call to action hard to ignore. Statistics run throughout, often in the form of references to charts and graphs. Such information is summarized in descriptive text. While the detail is omitted, the major points are clear. Similarly, many images are referred to, such as wartime posters and photos, and the descriptions capture the essence of the points being made.
