CLIMATE CHANGE and the road to NET-ZERO: Science - Technology - Economics - Politics : Hampshire-Waugh, Mathew: desertcart.in: Books Review: brilliant - Superb books on climate change implications and the wisdom in moving towards net zero. Must read for anyone working in this area. Review: Mathew does an incredible job articulating a past to present view regarding the climate history of our planet to set the stage and follows through is his balanced assessment of the science behind climate change, the effects on our planet and society and possible future scenarios based on different approaches. The most valuable part from my perspective is that he goes beyond simply saying where we're likely headed but offers tangible solutions and explores both the effectiveness and the economics of those solutions. What I really appreciated about his work is that it's not that of a climate alarmist; Mathew's approach is one of science and sense and this is what is needed to wake those up who still believe that climate change and the consequences that come with it, don't exist and aren't already happening. Bravo Mathew!

This is a thorough, well documented account of the effects of years of burning fossil fuels. The technology to go green exists. The question is whether people will accept the changes which must come about to save the planet and humanity. More people need to read this book.

If there is just one book you read on the topic, then it should be this one! It is a comprehensive and compact book at the same time. I still use this book to look things up. Highly recommended!!!

This is a much "deeper" dive into Climate change than this year's Bill Gates book (which is also good), but with better technical datail. Well done, Mathew!
