NEW FOR 2024: PROVEN CLIMATE SOLUTIONS FROM 14 TOP CLIMATE SOLUTIONS EXPERTS

Can we electrify all our buildings and transportation without crushing the grid or breaking the bank? Has anyone yet built a town that can survive huge storms and wildfires? Do heat pumps actually work? How green are electric vehicles? How can we use artificial intelligence, virtual reality, 3D printing, modern batteries and prefabrication to heal the planet? What are the government interventions that are proven to make the most impact against emissions, while building economies and improving equity?

The world needs accurate answers, sharply defined priorities, engineering specifics, and rapid deployment to slay the climate crisis monster, while fighting off the deliberate delays being bankrolled by the powerful fossil fuels and nuclear industries. Climate change and air pollution are now killing millions of people, animals, pollinators and marine life in North America and around the world, and wreaking havoc on businesses, property and careers. These are no longer distant, irrelevant threats. Your family is at risk today. We must act now.

The economy too: The chart below shows just how much extreme weather is increasing along with the cost of damage. According to re-insurance company Swiss Re, in 2022 extreme-weather damages totaled more than $165 billion and the US GDP could drop by between 7% and 14% in the next 25 yearss, depending on what we do about fossil fuels and methane.

In 2022 there were eighteen one-billion-dollar-plus weather events, including Hurricane Ian at $114 billion. More than five thousand US heat records were broken in the summer of 2023. The seven hottest days in one hundred thousand years all happened in one week in July. Ninety million Americans were under heat alerts this past summer. In Antarctica 2.6 million square kilometers of sea ice melted.

How much will we invest in the clean energy transition and how soon will the investment pay off by cutting energy costs and economic damages? How is sewer water reducing emissions? What is a virtual power plant and why does it matter? How will the circular economy function, specifically? Do we need carbon capture, nuclear power and hydrogen? What kind of misinformation on media and social media is the most dangerous, and who is behind it? This book answers these questions and dozens more.

Proven Climate Solutions is a dynamic, evidence-based action plan that brings together world-leading climate scientists and writers like celebrated author and organizer Bill McKibben, Professor Mark Jacobson from Stanford, Dr. Nancy E. Ryan, former Commissioner for the California Public Utilities Commission and electric transportation expert, green buildings and communities specialist BF Nagy and ten other top contributors.

It reveals the struggles, secrets, and best practices of thousands of climate heroes who are accelerating change and winning the battle against the profit-takers. Its game-changing technologies, proven solutions and governing policies will help us supercharge the energy transition, halt fossil fuel destruction, embrace the bold changes we need to create an equitable, affordable and healthy world for our children.

We must ramp up momentum on clean energy and clean water during the critical 2024-2035 period. Proven Climate Solutions will help policy planners, media professionals and ordinary families participate fully in leaving the Earth a better place than we found it. Please send a copy to a government planner or media professional in your community.

PROVEN CLIMATE CURES FILM WILL ALSO BE RELEASED IN 2024

Proven Climate Cures, will also be released during 2024. It will feature many of the climate thought leaders from the book. Award-winning documentarian BF Nagy reveals the corporate profiteering and disinformation that threaten our families and livelihoods, and provides real solutions and a better path forward. No one should have to watch their home burn down, their crops fail or flood, or their business go bankrupt due to supply chain breakdown, stranded and destroyed assets, and zooming insurance costs.

Proven Climate Cures and Proven Climate Solutions synthesize key climate solutions lessons. They’re based on scientific and engineering evidence gathered by the Climate Solution Group and Turtle House Films over the past 20 years through interviews and tours of projects with hundreds of scientists, engineers, architects, urban planners, government policy planners, energy and transportation professionals, environment thought leaders, modern economists, leading climate organizations, writers and journalists.

A NEW KIND OF UPBEAT ENVIRONMENTALISM

It might be time for a new approach to environmentalism that focusses on practical solutions rather than problems, and speaks to ordinary citizens in simple terms. This clear, positive and non-partisan guidebook helps individuals and organizations save money while taking aim at the source of most of our carbon emissions. It’s a climate change conversation that is not afraid to mention self-interest and fully review proven and unproven technologies and government programs.

It evaluates clean technology progress to date, and does not dwell on doom and gloom, seek to shame or scold, or propose unlikely overnight lifestyle upheaval. Instead it provides Top 10 Lists for those who want them, prioritizes everyday actions, and reviews the paybacks and effectiveness of clean building technologies, vehicles, government/utility incentives and finance structures. It contains specific sections for individuals and organizations using appropriate language and exploring current trends and issues for homeowners, regional and local governments, small businesses, large corporations, investors, politicians, civil servants, urban planners, media people, entertainers, teachers, transportation people, medical professionals, manufacturers, farmers, and others.

Each Top 10 List is provided with detailed explanations, and also provided in a simple, summary format. In addition to technology and government programs, it reviews current clean energy business and economic realities and insights into what we can expect in the future with chapters on buildings, electricity, transportation, investment, business, politics & economics, government, and unproven technologies. These include numerous success stories and provide support for the assertions in the Top 10 Lists.
