Extreme weather is becoming all too familiar. Yet when it comes to action on climate change, division and paralysis rule the land.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this vivid, urgent essay, Anna Krien explores the psychology and politics of a warming world. She visits the frontlines of Australia's climate wars - the Reef, the Galilee and Bowen basins, South Australia. She investigates the Adani mine, with its toxic politics and controversial economics. Talking to power workers and scientists, lobbyists and activists, she considers where climate change is taking us, and where effective action is to be found.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This was Turnbull's moment, and the Liberal Party's too. Not just the Snowy 2.0, but the whole thing - an ailing and dysfunctional grid, a complex issue, something for the 'adults' to take responsibility for. But instead of leadership, Australians got politics as usual. Cheap shots, culture-war baiting, bad and good ideas lobbed like hot potatoes and lost in the trash talk of low-grade politics. After the ten-day policy spree, Turnbull resumed his poker face, continuing with his grim role of negotiating with the vipers in his nest.\" Anna Krien, \u003cem\u003e The Long Goodbye\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Krien\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1863959211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781863959216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Quarterly Essay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.35d","brand":"Anna Krien","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906964508927,"sku":"9781863959216","price":15.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38d9e06d-3e42-46da-a338-5b1dfde25c2b.jpg?v=1748771908","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quarterly-essay-66-the-long-anna-krien-9781863959216","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
