Net Zero: How We Stop Causing Climate Change por Dieter Helm
bcc
I have a feeling that Dieter Helm's plan would work. The problem is that it is far too sensible for our political system to take on board.
I am no economist, but I am strongly of the opinion that, were these policies to have been adopted - even 10 years ago - we would have had a chance of a smooth transition away from fossil fuel dependency. As it is, this strategy would ease the pain and give real hope that civilization might evolve rather than crash into a ne form, or worse... cease.
Helm is well worth the reading

Just five short years, and yet so much has changed.
Dieter Helm wrote this book in 2015 (published 2016) and he is of the opinion that it will be some significant time before the effects of climate change would be felt. Now, with large areas of the world burning, we know differently.
It is interesting to see just how things have advanced in such a short space of time: Helm communicates from a time when climate concern was left to the wacky people on the verges of society; a time when business as usual looked to be the sensible option to so many.
The things that he is very good at spotting are things such as the ecological disaster accompanying the climate emergency. He is most aware about the danger to so many species.
An interesting, if dated book.… (más)
