Responding to the Climate Threat: Essays on Humanity's Greatest Challenge
By Henry Jacoby, the William F. Pounds Professor Emeritus in management; Gary Yohe; Richard Richels; and Benjamin Santer
Springer Cham · 2023
Four veteran climate experts present our current understanding of the climate threat and what can be done about it, in lay language ― without losing critical aspects of the natural and social science. In a series of essays, they explain the essential components of the challenge, countering the forces of distrust of the science and opposition to a vigorous national response.
From Summer 2023 recommended reading from MIT (MIT News). Cover image via Google Books.
