The description seems to be more in the science/policy area, but -- I wouldn't be surprised if there will likely still be a significant climate change component in the book, since he's used it as an example of the disconnect between the "reality-based community" (as Suskind's quote described it) and policy. Not just in Bush's administration, but a bunch of different contexts. After all, dealing with barriers to implementation (why aren't we doing some of this stuff already, and why did we actually stop acting on some of the steps outlined in the "stabilization wedge" diagram shown by Gore) is the logical next step to actually changing course. The article does mention "solving problems such as global warming".

Of course, Gore seldom writes about just one topic, anyway -- which is something I like about his style. He's so well-versed in many different fields (science, history, art, government, etc.).
