Greening the Global Economy

Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor and energy expert Robert Pollin makes a complex subject understandable in this discussion of the catastrophic losses humanity faces if it doesn’t confront the significant challenge of climate change. Pollin’s coherent narrative explores various aspects of this problem, starting with how human consumption of fossil fuels leads to greenhouse gas emissions, which cause climate change. He counters claims that reducing emissions reduces economic growth and details a comprehensive plan to cut emissions that can generate prosperity and jobs. getAbstract recommends Pollin’s rational overview of this complex problem to investors, entrepreneurs, students, policy makers, and executives who work with long-term planning for profit or nonprofit organizations.
