商品簡介
Activist and independent journalist Lipow presents an optimistic view of the massive political and economic change needed to solve the climate crisis by outlining realistic means to address and overcome obstacles to them. Greenhouse gas emissions and the destruction of the planetary ecosystem to absorb carbon are side effects, he argues, of atomization and inequality. He covers sources of waste, solutions that tackle the climate crisis and will increase prosperity as a side effect, and policies that indirectly lower emissions as a side effect of increasing prosperity. More detailed information is provided on such matters as technological solutions, measuring military spending, energy demand elasticity, and the energy efficiency gap.
