...approximately 180 separate zones of development for oil and gas exploration in the western Pacific, run by at least 35 multinational energy companies. The area covers almost 700,000 sq. km. and it's growing fast. In 2003 Peru cut oil and gas royalties in an effort to kick start energy investment; that discount, compounded by the rapidly rising price of oil, sparked a mini-boom in energy exploration. Oil and gas zones now cover some 72% of the Peruvian Amazon, up from a little more than 20% a few years back. The story is much the same in neighboring...

Though carbon has its positive points, even in the air - it feeds plants, and without the greenhouse effect, we'd basically be living in a climate like Mars' - Roston makes clear in the book's powerful conclusion the dire fate that awaits the Earth if we can't kick our carbon habit. That won't be easy. "There's never been a purposeful transformation in our energy system," he says. "We went to coal because it was better than wood, and we went to oil because it was better than coal." If we're going to cut out carbon...
