How We Stop Causing Climate Change

Beschreibung

What can we really do about the climate emergency? The inconvenient truth is that we are causing the climate crisis with our carbon intensive lifestyles and that fixing â or even just slowing â it will affect all of us. But it can be done.

Rezensionen

A Nature Book of the Week

'You should read it' Julian Glover, Evening Standard

'The reasons I enjoyed this book are fivefold and I think they are reasons that many readers of this blog would enjoy it too. This book is very clearly written, on an important subject, by someone who knows their stuff, by someone who is a friend of the natural environment and, perhaps most importantly, it challenges my own starting point on this subject.' Mark Avery

'Dieter Helm is one of Britain's foremost experts on energy economics and he has written a terrific book on the next agenda item once the Covid emergency has passed. It is also an angry book ... A fine overview of our climate policy failures and the options for doing better.' Sunday Independent
