Five essential books on climate change
These are five books which I think are essential on climate change, useful to Green Party General Election candidates.....which other titles should be included
Naomi
Oreskes and Erik Conway. Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists
Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming.
Bloomsbury. 2010.
George Marshall. Don't Even Think About It: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Ignore Climate Change. Bloomsbury. 2014.
Naomi Klein. This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. Climate. Allen Lane. 2014.
Mike Hulme. Can Science Fix Climate Change?: A Case Against Climate Engineering. Wiley. 2014.
Ian Angus. The Global Fight for Climate Justice - Anticapitalist Responses to Global Warming and Environmental Destruction.Fernwood. 2010
Essential read for lay people, candidates and other scientists... Scientists use the models that Jacobson innovated
“… presents a proposed solution to global warming and air pollution, namely, the conversion of the world's energy infrastructure to a large-scale, clean, renewable one. Because air pollution and global warming, in particular, are so severe, a rapid and large-scale conversion is needed. The main barriers are not technical, resource based, or even economic. Instead, they are social and political. “
~~ Mark Z. Jacobson, "Air Pollution and Global Warming: History, Science, and Solutions," Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2012.
Specific plans for 50 US States have been completed and proposals for additional 139 countries are in the works. SUMMARY PAPER: Royal Society of Chemistry, Energy and Environmental Science Summary Paper published June 2015 http://web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/Articles/I/USStatesWWS.pdf 50 US States, graphics TheSolutionsProject.org
