This book explains the mechanisms and impacts of the climate crisis, traces the history and reasons behind the lack of serious effort to combat it, describes some people's ongoing scepticism and how to shift it, and motivates an urgent program of action. It argues that the pathway to stopping dangerous global heating will require a much larger mobilization of advocacy and activism to impel decision makers to abandon fossil fuels, and transition to renewable energy and electrification embedded in a political and social framework guided by justice principles. It is an excellent resource for students and researchers on the climate crisis, the need for a renewable energy transition, and the current blocks to progress"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $x History. 650 0 $a Climate change mitigation. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $x Government policy. 650 0 $a Environmentalism. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Aron, Adam, 1972- $t Climate crisis $d New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2023 $z 9781108982566 $w (DLC) 2022031381 941 $a 2 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20231021032055.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907012430.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DFF97DC6E97711ED8437380758ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
