Brecher, Jeremy: Against Doom (E-Book)

Late in 2015, nearly two hundred countries signed the Paris Agreement acknowledging their individual and collective duty to protect the earth's climate - and willfully refused to perform that duty. They unanimously agreed to the goal of keeping global warming 'well below 2 degrees Celsius', but they did not agree to a single legally binding requirement about how, or how much, they would cut emissions. Against Doom tells how to put strategy into action - and how it can succeed. It is a handbook for halting global warming and restoring our climate - a how-to for climate insurgents.
