"In Hot Talk, Cold Science, Fred Singer looks at the issue of climate change the way a physicist should. He asks probing questions and offers reasoned possibilities. He notes the obvious weaknesses that others too often ignore.... Fortunately, some like Dr. Singer still prefer the joys and value of scientific inquiry."

Earth is surrounded by a bubble of air-the atmosphere-without which no life can survive. In the past century, however, that bubble has been negatively affected by the rise of the industrial age and the carbon and other gases that humans and machines are putting out. The gases create a "greenhouse effect" that is contributing to climate change. Inside, learn the science behind this problem and some of the ways that we can fight back! Can we save the...

Solomon Goldstein-Rose makes clear what must happen to achieve negative emissions before we reach the point of no return: the moonshot projects that need funding, the technologies that need inventing, the industries that need converting, the amount of CO2 we'll still have to sequester from the atmosphere, and so much more. Most importantly, he shows us how to unite the efforts of activists, governments, scientists, engineers, donors, and voters to...
