How to Avoid a Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need by Bill Gates is quite good.
It’s a great book (and I highly Rx it). The one point I would remember is this:
Tip: Whenever you see some number of tons of greenhouse gases, convert it to a percentage of 51 billion, which is the world’s current yearly total emissions (in carbon dioxide equivalents).
51 billion tons is a LOT of CO2 – and the other important question to ask is about your number itself – is it likely to go up, or down in the future?
Read this book!
