Climate change isn’t just about emissions.
It’s about a system that doesn't care.

We can change that

WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK

I spent 30 years in advertising selling people things they didn’t need with money they didn’t have. Then I noticed the planet was on fire, and realised I was holding the matches.

So I, as a sort of therapy, I started to write about climate change and by the time I'd finished I'd unravelled the whole phoney scam that drives Capitalism.

And, in the process, inadvertently joined a sort of Rebel Alliance!

But I also knew that if The Dragon & the Hummingbird was just a 320-page panic attack it would be too boring and depressing to read. So I rewrote it as a black comedy which laughs at the billionaires, exposes the charlatans and celebrates how fantastic humans can be, given half a chance.

And yes, by the end of it all, there's a New Hope and a happy ending

So please download it and read.

If anything is going to change we all need to join the rebels.

Many thanks, Peace, love,

Reader Reviews

“My son handed me a copy of your book. It has been a great read and a wonderful insight into the blindness of our society, and the impact that we are causing to the planet. Your hummingbird analogy works so well to inspire us to rise above selfish short - term endeavours with the hope of working to make a better world :)”

“Who wants to read about the inconvenient truth? I must admit, I didn’t. But fear not! The Dragon and the Hummingbird has found the sweet spot because it sits at the intersection of a fascinating Venn diagram, where history, data, humour and hope converge. Because climate change issues are complex, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Reading this book reawakened my interest.”

"Finally, a book that bridges the gap between scientific facts and emotional understanding. Perfect for reaching those who need to hear this message."

"Put aside your daily priorities for a while and read Gramskii's new book 'The Dragon & the Hummingbird'. So much more interesting than reality TV. THIS IS THE REAL THING. It's an entertaining yet foreboding tale about why our world is in its current precarious state; sprinkled with humour, coupled with scientific and historical references . Almost a book within a film within a film. It moves along at a cinematic pace to provide an explanation of how capitalism and greed is the lumbering beast that has created inequality, financial disaster and climate change. It's time to do something about it before it's too late. We can all help. Find out how by reading this inspirational book. It's free, so what have you got to lose? (Apart from your planet)."

"I very much enjoyed this easy to read, and yet profound, book. It's very accessible and often humorous, yet it provides a deep message on the environment. Fundamentally, it answers two questions: how have we got to the mess we are now in, and what can we each do about it? I like the focus on personal responsibility and personal action. I learnt a lot. It also looks very nice!"

"I read this book pretty much straight away because I was interested in what it had to say, and I wasn't disappointed. It does an admirable job of distilling the complexity of the climate situation and how we got here. I was impressed by the historical context which I felt added to people’s (my) sum of knowledge and made the current crisis more understandable, in a depressingly inevitable sort of way. The conversation between two/three people was a great creative device to get the points across, otherwise it would have been a study paper and no one needs another of those."

"Highly enjoyable. It made the political bits understandable without being patronising, and the characters beautifully mitigated the danger of the second half becoming too didactic. Best of all, while it didn't flinch from the horror of a possible climate apocalypse, it planted credible seeds of hope and made me take stock of the small things I try to do, and to think about looking for other incremental changes I might be able to make."

" I enjoyed this book so much I read it in a couple of days- a record for me. The structure of the chapters keep it moving along at an enjoyable pace and I did wonder how it was going to end, worrying that it may suggest we all go back to some sort of pre-industrial life. I didn't need to worry as the final chapters really did a great job of helping me to find ways of reducing my impact. I have bought a couple of copies so that I can share the message to friends who are interested in how we can make a difference. It's not a secret and It really isn't that hard, thank you for a thought provoking read which isn't scary".
