"Solving the Climate Crisis is a critical resource that makes a believable and detailed case that there is a path forward to save our environment. Using today's technology and without presuming a dramatically different sociopolitical reality from the one in which we already live, the book focuses on three essential areas for action: the technological dimension: move to 100% clean renewable energy as fast as we possibly can; the ecological dimension: enhance and protect natural ecosystems (protect, restore, and plant forests, and alter how we grow, process, and consume food); the social dimension: updating and creating new laws, policies and economic measures, and recentering human values. Based on more than 6 years of research, Berger traveled the nation and abroad to interview governors, mayors, ranchers, scientists, engineers, business leaders, energy experts, and financiers as well as carbon farmers, solar and wind innovators, forest protectors, non-profit leaders, and activists. With real world examples, an explanation of cutting-edge technologies in solar and wind, and political organizing tactics, Solving the Climate Crisis provides a practical road map for how we effectively combat climate change. Replacing the fossil-fuel system with a newly invigorated, modernized, clean-energy economy will produce tens of millions of new jobs and save trillions of dollars. Protecting the climate is thus potentially the greatest economic opportunity of our time"--

"Both a primer on climate change and a definitive rebuttal of climate science denial. [This] book can thus be used to help educate students, teachers, and the general public about the controversy over climate change."--P. [4] of cover.

Foretells the world's next great energy transformation: the shift to clean, renewable energy sources. Chronicling this extraordinary technological revolution, this title looks at the various industries that can make it possible, and the trillion-dollar benefits Americans can enjoy by choosing pollution-free energy and transportation.
