There is no green energy. Nor pink, nor black. Nor clean nor dirty,
for that matter. In this intelligent, eye-opening and witty
bestseller, an eminent climate expert takes a graphic novelist on a
journey to understand the profound changes that our planet is
experiencing. The scientist, Jean-Marc Jancovici, explains the
workings of superpowers and history; oil and climate; ecology,
economics and energy flows. He describes, in short, the world we
live in today-a world whose future is deeply uncertain. The artist,
Christophe Blain, intently listens and draws. As the pair come face
to face with global warming, they - along with Mother Nature, Pop
Eye and Jiminy Cricket, among others - create a picture of what the
solution to our predicament actually looks like. It's not just
about switching to renewable energy sources, they show. It's about
rethinking everything: our energy supply, our economies and our
whole world. We're left with a vision of the future in which food,
education, housing, transport and communities - in other words, all
of us - work together and, with a few technological fixes, succeed
in creating a world without end.
