The Hot Topic (eBook, ePUB)

How to Tackle Global Warming and Still Keep the Lights On

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

We all know that global warming is a problem, but the blizzard of information and misinformation on the subject makes it hard to know what to do. The Hot Topic is the first book to set out the problems and the solutions in a straightforward way - no hidden agenda, no breast-beating, no hair shirts.

• Science - how the climate is already changing and what the future is likely to bring
• Adaptation - preparing for the changes we can't stop
• Technological solutions - new, clean ways to live, travel and keep the lights on
• Political solutions - the inside track on what it will take to bring the whole world to the same negotiating table, and how to deal with the 'problem' countries - China, India, Russia and the US
• Personal and local solutions - what you can do and why it will make a difference
