The 100% solution : a plan for solving climate change /
Goldstein-Rose, Solomon,
The 100% solution : a plan for solving climate change / One hundred percent solution. Solomon Goldstein-Rose ; illustrations by Violet Kitchen. - 294 pages : illustrations ; 19 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (pages [267]-294).
Part one: Solutions must add up -- The full scale of the problem -- Global emissions, global solutions -- Eliminating all emissions -- Moonshot projects -- Part two: What has to happen -- Pillar 1: Electricity generation -- Pillar 2: Electrification -- Pillar 3: Synthesized fuels -- Pillar 4: Non-energy shifts -- Pillar 5: Sequestration -- Part three: How to get to work -- Beyond the five pillars -- Political leadership -- Key prescriptions.
Most experts agree that we need to get to negative greenhouse gas emissions worldwide by the year 2050 in order to stave off the most catastrophic effects of climate change. It's a colossal challenge, but despite a lot of outright cynicism, it is possible. This is not a problem that can be solved halfway, however, or even 95% of the way. Yet no proposal is currently on the table that specifically addresses the full scope of solutions. This is why we need Solomon Goldstein-Rose's book, The 100% Solution.
