He is actually more stupid than I previously believed; previously I thought he was one of the most idiotic people talking about nuclear data. Now he's just dumbest guy in the room with his mouth open. You've shot yourself in the face. Who cares what you think about climate, George. You've lost your mind.
Preaching morals. This guy sounds like Billy Graham reading Revelations. Get a life people. The Planet is COOLING. Nature is not listening. The Sun is entering a Grand Solar Minimun. The Pacific is cooling. Next winter will be freezing , my wife feels it in her bones lol.
@david222444 "At present the globe is cooling!" That statement is meaningless without the context of a time scale. Night is cooler than day, winter is cooler than summer, that doesn't mean a cooling trend in the climate.
After reading the book I felt being in a sort of vaccuum. Then I made a few quick changes (e.g. sold my range rover/ bought a prius) now I am preparing myself finding out how I really can contribute....
Monbiot has no scientific qualifications whatsoever yet spouts off anti-scientific "global warming" rubbish like a rabid barking dog. Russian scientists have recently proven that the world faces a new ice age by by 2065 due to decreasing sun spot activity yet Georgie blithely ignores climate data,propagating his ideological poison to the masses.
As much as I dislike Britain's public school and Oxbridge snobbery, Monbiot's creditation comes from both, and both have a respectable mien. He studied Zoology at Brasenose (acc. to Wikipedia). He's very much left-wing, and can be pretty crass at times, but there's little reason to doubt his arguments outside of personal bigotry.
Indeed a great talk. It's sad that he's not as influential as we need him to be. He gets a lot of stick from even Guardian folk by speaking too many inconvenient truths about the extent we need to change. Have not read Heat yet, but I've now decided to order it. Good on you George for your work.
There is a point of no return, governments have to act now. Please spread the word and encourage people to read this book. We're fighting against greed and running out of time.
Monbiot is one of the most important people in the UK at the moment, I just hope he has the required influence. Please read Heat, it will take about 6 hours of your life and offers the truth and comprehensive investigation into the possible solutions and a suggests a way out. Everybody has to work together but in order to achieve anything we need to spread the information.

@ImMichaelTaylor But the Globe should not be cooling it should be warming. The trend is meaningless if the data is false.

George Monbiot´s book "Heat" explains the physics of CO2 and atmosphere and is for the intelligence of a 5 year-old.
He is truly embarrasing and it is a shame that so many people look up to him and beleive that he has an authority on this issue.
Research the science of GHG and atmosphere and you will see that he is a very basic person.
Or maybe he is highly knowing of the science, but if this is the case then he is just a blatant liar.

"Agendas create wanted outcomes". There's an adult film of that title, though it's spelled phonetically.

Agree with other comments here about the importance of Monbiot's work, and the value of it being seen, heard, and understood, as widely as possible.

Monbiot is a courageous thinker, a stylish and persuasive writer, a brilliant speaker, the thinking person's demagogue. I am a huge fan.
