This book provides a comprehensive briefing or tutorial on the global-warming or climate-change situation because it covers not only the scientific and technical side of this issue but also the human, economic and political side. Part A covers the causes and impacts of global warming, and remedies like BECCS, solar power, and reforestation. It explains the mitigation pathways the IPCC says we must follow to limit warming to an acceptable level.. It highlights the carbon budget, which will be expended in just the next ten years unless we rapidly cut CO2 emissions about 40 % by 2030. It discusses carbon taxes or caps, plus industry resistance to them. It notes that despite 40 years of advanced warning the US government incredibly has no commitment to fight climate change much less any detailed plan for doing so. Part B is an in-depth analysis of the psychological, social, economic and political reasons why we aren't taking the problem seriously, plus some ideas for overcoming them. It posits that the main problem today is not global warming per se but rather that we, and especially the current Federal administration, aren't taking it seriously enough. It explains how President Trump is engaged in 'wrong thinking'. A partial remedy for this is suggested. For the first time this book proposes that a serious effort to fight global warming offers a massive opportunity to remedy a number of social and national ills in non-obvious ways tied to the Maslow hierarchy of needs. It highlights the importance of good presidential leadership and how the legacies of national presidents as well as our own will be determined by how well they and we fight this existential threat. It suggests that how humans engage with global warming in the years ahead will become humanity's greatest drama. Its intended for thoughtful, analytically minded individuals, climate organizations, journalists, and those outside government with power to pursue the ideas suggested herein.
