- Summary:
- Global warming, the result of increasing carbon dioxide emissions from energy producers and users, has become a danger to humans, threatening radical climate changes, severe storms, and ecological havoc. "Turning Off the Heat" targets a main source of overuse of fossil fuels--the energy producers themselves who, through their government-approved monopolies, have led to energy inefficiency and needless pollution.
