Everybody wants breathable air, a healthy population, civil and consensual politics. We want a peaceful world, a stable economy. We've always wanted these things.

The answer is that politics produces a number of traps: democracy, equality, solidarity, security and prosperity.

A damning account of the forces that have hijacked progress on climate change, and a bold vision of what it will take, politically and economically, to face the existential threat of global warming head-on.
