From the back cover: For many years, Robert Repetto has provided incisive analysis and recommendations toward solving our environmental problems. This book may be his most important contribution yet. Its brilliant analysis deserves urgent attention. This timely book updates the latest scientific understanding of climate change, further confirming the impact of human actions, and then considers approaches to determine the best paths forward to mitigate climate change and ensure future prosperity. It is essential reading for all wishing to understand how human actions are impacting climate, and how human ingenuity and good governance can ameliorate the damage. From the dust jacket: What America does or fails to do in the next few years to solve the problem of climate change will largely determine the fate of the earth and humanity for centuries to come. Despite the efforts by some states, local governments and individual citizens to respond, controversy still embroils national efforts to come up with a solution. This book lets the reader cut through the confusion and political rhetoric and understand the way to resolve the climate problem. It explains in clear, accessible language how a sensible national policy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions can bring about a transition to clean energy sources while preserving healthy economic growth and high standards of living. It shows where the pitfalls are in developing a climate solution, how they can be avoided, and how to bring resistant interest groups on board. America cannot act alone, but other nations will not take action if the United States does not lead, and this book explains how America can successfully promote international cooperation on climate solutions.
