4.9/5 (30054 ratings)

Description:Global warming is the story of the twenty-first century. It is the most serious issue facing the future of humankind, and American energy and environmental policy is driving the whole world down the path of global catastrophe. "Hell and High Water" is nothing less than a wake-up call to the country. It is a searing critique of American environmental and energy policy and a passionate call to action by a writer with a unique command of the science and politics of climate change.We have ten years, at most, to start making sharp cuts to our greenhouse gas emissions or we will face catastrophic consequences. The good news is that there is something we can do--but only if the leadership of the U.S. government acts immediately and asserts its influence on the rest of the world--in particular such emerging powers as China and India--to join an international effort to stop global warming.Joseph Romm, an expert in the science, business, and politics of climate change, lays out a plan of action that involves: reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent by midcenturyadopting a California-style energy-efficiency effort nationwideembracing high-mileage, advanced "hybrid" cars that can run on both electricity and biofuelsUnfortunately, the required government policies and spending are strongly opposed by conservatives, who have blocked serious action on climate change and continue to publicly deny the dire warnings of scientists. Never before has there been such a sharp divergence between what top scientists know and what policymakers, the general public, and the media believe. And, sadly, never has so much been at stake.Romm, who ran the largest program in the world that was concentrated on climate solutions, offers an authoritative dissection of this disastrous policy. "Hell and High Water" goes beyond ideological rhetoric to offer pragmatic solutions to avert the threat of global warming--solutions that must be taken seriously by every American.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
