Book publication release: 5 July 2008
"Climate Code Red" is a superb, visionary blueprint for development in a new century which tackles the tough questions of how humanity can, in practice, rapidly secure a sustainable future. But it is also a work in progress, a draft strategy, which is primed to be shaped and developed by those who step up to meet the challenge we all now face." Professor Barry W. Brook, Sir Hubert Wilkins Chair of Climate Change, Director, Research Institute for Climate Change and Sustainability,The University of Adelaide.

CLIMATE CODE RED: the case for emergency action by David Spratt & Philip Sutton / Scribe Publications
320 pages, paperback, ISBN (13): 9781921372209 RRP: $27.95

Climate policy is characterised by the habituation of low expectations and a culture of failure. There is an urgent need to understand global warming and the tipping points for dangerous impacts that we have already crossed as a sustainability emergency, that takes us beyond the politics of failure-inducing compromise. We are now in a race between climate tipping points and political tipping points.

Acclaim for Climate Code Red:
'This is a frightening but clear-eyed, well-informed, and sober consideration of the weight of evidence and argument on the imminent and quite possibly cataclysmic impacts of climate change. It is a wake-up call and antidote to the sanitised reporting on the state of the planet and global warming. As a social and environmental psychologist reader, this critical overview is impressive, comprehensive, and convincing.' -- Dr Joseph Retter.

'... a compelling case for recognising, as the UN secretary-general has said, that we face a climate emergency.' -- Dr James Hansen, director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

'Climate Code Red applies an uncommon degree of common-sense to the latest climate science, and is a well-researched basis for building a truly meaningful response. It makes it abundantly clear that greenhouse-gas emissions have to stop entirely, and that even this must sit in a larger plan to manage our destabilised earth-atmosphere system.' -- Tim Helweg-Larsen, Director, Public Interest Research Centre, UK.

'David Spratt and Philip Sutton have provided a valuable and sobering contribution to the policy challenge of climate change at a pivotal moment, with their key insight that the expectation of failure has become the norm in climate policy. Climate Code Red is a significant contribution which should be read by anyone seriously contemplating how to set greenhouse emission-reduction targets.' -- Senator Christine Milne, Australian Greens Party.
