Rezensionen

"This book offers a rare combination of tough-mindedness, analytic rigor, and passion as it tackles the greatest challenge of our time-climate change. For Brooks, it's past time to acknowledge that climate change cannot be solved though the careful selection of good polices. Climate change is an unavoidable tragedy that we must endure but may be able to survive. Offering a program that emphasizes flexibility and adaptation, Brooks brings original insights to a debate that too long has been bogged down in wishful thinking and empty scholasticism."
