| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | This book is the first major consensus statement on the solutions to climate change by the nation's leading scientists. Drawing on recommendations developed by more than 1,200 experts, it presents some 35 practical, results-oriented approaches for minimizing climate change and its impacts. The Climate Solutions Consensus clearly spells out options for technological, societal, and policy actions. And it deals head-on with controversial topics, including nuclear energy, ocean fertilization, and atmospheric geo-engineering. |
