Summary:
"The
Burning
Question
reveals climate change to be the most fascinating scientific, political and social puzzle in history. It shows that carbon emissions are still accelerating upwards, following an exponential curve that goes back centuries. One reason is that saving energy is like squeezing a balloon: reductions in one place lead to increases elsewhere. Another reason is that clean energy sources don'
t
in themselves slow the rate of fossil fuel extraction. Tackling global warming will mean persuading the
world
to abandon
oil
,
coal
and
gas
reserves worth many trillions of dollars—at least until
we
have the means to put carbon back in the ground. The
burning
question
is whether that
can
be done. What mix of politics, psychology, economics and technology might be required? Are the energy companies massively overvalued, and
how
will carbon-cuts affect the global economy? Will
we
wake up to the threat in time? And who
can
do
what to make it all happen?"--Jacket.
