Know more about legislation that will fight global climate change

I have purchased four copies of this text in the hopes that the public will lobby for a 2009 carbon-cap system. We need solutions now, and Barnes outlines some possible market solutions for capping carbon and trading it. His single-line arguments serve well in quotidian conversation, while parts of the text are available free online to share with others. However, this particular edition is concise, accurate and offers further education tools. I hope that those who have recieved this quick guide to carbon mitigation from me will pass it on, and that you will too, because we are the people Barnes dedicates the book to: "fellow owners of our one sky."

The fastest way to become a climate solutions expert...

Some people think that they are climate change experts after watching "An Inconvenient Truth." But really you're just watching the tip of the iceberg melt. The interesting part is debating solutions. But it gets complicated really fast. That's where this book comes in. What's an upstream cap? Where does the auction revenue come from? Why shouldn't we just do what Europe's doing? This is a short and accessible book, and it should be read by everyone, from housewives to U.S. Senators.
