Critics Review
“Making Climate Tech Work is exceptional in its comprehensive and even-handed review of policies that may contribute to meaningful reductions in emissions of carbon to the atmosphere. Coverage is more factual than wistful, a refreshing change from some competing books offering solutions. Yet, it is also hopeful, providing thoughtful analysis of options that offer practical potential for responding to the global climate crisis. This book should be particularly valuable to those interested in helping drive societal changes that reduce climate-changing gas emissions.” – “Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences”
