This book combines an extensive treatment of the main features of the dangerous climate change that threatens us, our children, and grandchildren; a lengthy discussion of social failures that have led to the problem (fossil-fuel-funded denialism, media failure, and political failure); and an examination of moral, religious, and economic challenges that must be met. In discussing the needed transition from dirty to clean energy. Griffin provides a thorough and up-to-date examination of the various kinds of clean energy and how they could be combined, demonstrating that it is now possible to achieve 70% clean energy by 2035 and 100% by 2050 (both U.S. and worldwide). The book concludes with an outline of what is needed for America to provide the leadership the world needs from it if civilization is to be saved: a full-scale mobilization paralleling that of World War II.
