Summary: 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.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

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. Yet no proposal is currently on the table that specifically addresses the full scope of solutions. Here Solomon Goldstein-Rose lays out a specific framework for action that adds up to fully addressing climate change - it is not too late if action is taken now.

Includes bibliographical references (pages [267]-294).
