Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed To Reverse Global Warming by Paul Hawken
In Drawdown, renowned environmentalist Paul Hawken has assembled a team of over 200 scholars, scientists, policymakers, business leaders and activists to illustrate the hundred most substantive solutions to combat climate change that together will not only slow down the growth of carbon emissions, but reverse them altogether. Put into action together, these solutions will mobilize society into taking the climate change conversation from problem definition to problem solving, from fear and apathy to collaboration and regeneration.
The Story Of More: How We Got To Climate Change And Where To Go From Here by Hope Jahren
Award-winning geobiologist Hope Jahren celebrates the long history of our enterprising spirit–which has tamed wild crops, cured diseases, and sent us to the moon–but also shows how that spirit has created excesses that are quickly warming our planet to dangerous levels. She explains the current and projected consequences of greenhouse gases–from superstorms to rising sea levels–and shares the science-based tools that could help us fight back.
The Future Earth: A Radical Vision For What’s Possible In The Age Of Warming by Eric Holthaus
In The Future Earth, leading climate change advocate and weather-related journalist Eric Holthaus offers a radical vision of our future, specifically how to reverse the short- and long-term effects of climate change over the next three decades. Anchored by world-class reporting, interviews with futurists, climatologists, biologists, economists, and climate change activists, it shows what the world could look like if we implemented radical solutions on the scale of the crises we face.
The New Climate War: The Fight to Take Back Our Planet by Michael E. Mann
A renowned climate scientist shows how fossil fuel companies have waged a thirty-year campaign to deflect blame and responsibility and delay action on climate change, and offers a battle plan for how we can save the planet.
The Right To Be Cold by Sheila Watt-Cloutier
The Right to Be Cold explores the parallels between safeguarding the Arctic and the survival of Inuit culture–and ultimately the world–in the face of past, present, and future environmental degradation. Sheila Watt-Cloutier passionately argues that climate change is a human rights issue and one to which all of us on the planet are inextricably linked.
How To Avoid A Climate Disaster by Bill Gates
Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help and guidance of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science and finance, he has focused on exactly what must be done in order to stop the planet’s slide toward certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only gathers together all the information we need to fully grasp how important it is that we work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases but also details exactly what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal.
