This book presents a comprehensive overview of the global climate
change impacts caused by the continued use of fossil fuels, which
results in enormous damage to the global environment, biodiversity,
and human health. It argues that the key to a transition to a low
carbon future is the rapid and large-scale deployment of renewable
energy technologies in power generation, transport and industry,
coupled with super energy-efficient building design and
construction. However, the author also reveals how major oil
companies and petrochemical conglomerates have systematically
attempted to manufacture doubt and uncertainty about global warming
and climate change, continue to block the commercialization of
solar energy and wind power, and impede the electrification of the
transport sector. Martin Bush's solution is a theory-of-change
approach to substantially reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050,
which sets out realistic steps that people can take now to help
make a difference.
