  Unfortunately I have absolutely no faith that politics will move to solve this emergency. I don’t see even a glimmer of hope, and so in the end, I think, the earth will just shake us off into extinction. It doesn’t take much of a violent event to take us out en masse. Great visual essay, Franke, as usual.

  I refuse to give in to the nihilistic despair that seems to afflict so many who care about the Earth. There are hopeful signs all around us, if we choose to see them — and we can build on them. Thanks for what you’re doing, Franke.

  This is as good as it gets–the marriage of James’ superb graphic talent and environmental sophistication with the vision, clarity, and detail of a investigative genius like Pooley. This is a cultural-environmental masterpiece!

  Bravo!

  I am reading The Climate War right now and it is SO eye opening and I am passing it onto everyone I know! And I am SO proud to say that Eric is a great friend (esp. his dear wife, Pam) and a lovely, down to earth guy! Thanks Franke for putting this together!

• Franke James says:

  July 15, 2010 at 4:39 pm

  Kate,

  Thanks for dropping by and sharing your thoughts as a friend of his! Yes — Eric’s book is an eye-opener. He gives us a unique view into the climate war raging in Washington. His experience as an investigative reporter shines throughout the book.

  I hope my essay will motivate people to sign the petitions — and learn more about the politics of climate change by reading The Climate War.

  Cheers,

  Franke

• LaDonna Coy says:

  I just ordered The Climate War on my Kindle and will read it straight away. I’ve been so angry at big business, especially oil for a long time and really frustrated and angry over the gulf oil disaster.

  Lately some of that frustration has turned on my government – clearly they are incapable of acting in the best interest of people and the planet. Shifting to cleaner methods/ways is a game changer with jobs, the environment, health and safety. Imagine how much more peaceful the world could be without oil as “the ring of power”?

  Thank you for another GREAT essay Franke, keep ’em coming :-)

• Franke James says:

  July 15, 2010 at 5:40 pm

  LaDonna,

  Thanks for your thoughtful comment. It’s especially interesting coming from YOU as a social change agent. (http://technologyinprevention.blogspot.com/)

  Let me know what you think of The Climate War. I think it’s a terrific book — and especially important at this moment in history with the back drop of the Gulf Oil “spill”. I told Eric Pooley that his book made me angry — but I think that’s a good thing. More of us need to get angry about political inaction on climate change.

  Best,

  Franke

  Hi there, I just wanted to add my personal thanks here to Franke — of course I’ve already thanked her on Twittter and in DMs — for unleashing her artistic vision on behalf of my book. There are so many amazing, amazing images in her piece, and the flow of thought and emotion is so very powerful. I’m proud that The Climate War inspired her to action, and I hope the book inspires everyone who reads it to act in his or her own way. That’s why I wrote it. As one of the activists I quote in the book says, ‘Every pebble makes a ripple in the pond.’ We need a lot more pebbles. Franke just tossed a beauty.

• Franke James says:

  July 17, 2010 at 11:05 am

  Eric,

  Thanks! It was my absolute pleasure —

  I appreciate you being our “fly on the wall” in Washington, and sharing it with us in “The Climate War”. You’ve written an important book, made even more so by its debut at a critical point in history, with the tragic Gulf Oil “spill” and the American Power Act now before the Senate. I hope those reading my essay, and your book, will seize this opportunity to send a strong message to the politicians to wake up and realize, “It’s the Environment, Stupid!”

  Best,

  Franke

  Franke- You are a master of visual emotions! This essay gets to the heart of the matter around fossil fuel energy and how many people must be feeling about the oil spill disaster in the Gulf Coast. There is nothing worse than feeling helpless so thank you for this jam-packed essay and all of the links below, offering a place to take action!

  Oh, Franke. Don’t give up.

  We’re all angry, but we need to keep fighting. I know how you feel, because sometimes I just want to SCREAM at the sheer stupidity of it all.

  I don’t get the mindset of people who think our world is negotiable.

  But don’t give up. There’s this old saying: Don’t get angry. Get even. Keep working, and the tide really will turn.

  Thanks Franke, these essays are great.
  Unfortunatly, only a few people will read these essays, and even fewer people will do something about the world’s current issues. A lot of people don’t care at all, because they’ll be dead by the time serious issues begin to happen. They don’t care that we kids will inherit a broken planet, or that our kids may be born with massive diffects due to the radiation (And if it doesn’t happen to our kids, it’ll be their kids, or their kids). The biggest thing we kids can do is raise awareness about these issues, but we need adults to actually do the talking to the politicians, because no politician will listen to a kid.
  We need a voice!
