'''''Climate Code Red: The Case for Emergency Action''''' is a 2008 book, published by [[Scribe Publications]]<ref>http://www.scribepublications.com.au/book/climatecodered</ref>, which presents scientific evidence that the [[global warming]] crisis is worse than official reports and national governments have so far indicated. The book argues that we are facing a "[[sustainability]] emergency" that requires a clear break from business-as-usual politics. The authors explain that emergency action to address [[climate change]] is not so much a radical idea as an indispensable course we must embark upon.<ref>[http://www.climatecodered.net/book.html Code Red: The Book]</ref> ''Climate Code Red'' draws heavily on the work of a large number of climate scientists, including [[James E. Hansen]].<ref>[http://www.climatecodered.net/index.html The Hansen Challenge]</ref> .
