This book takes the reader through the processes behind the current observed warming trend of the Earth’s atmosphere as a foundation to explore what we CAN do NOW to prevent harm from a warming climate. The book empowers the reader to separate the facts from the myths about the processes that drive global warming and the feasibility and effectiveness of the possible remedial actions. The main features that set this book apart from other books on climate change are:

• The recognition that the remedies against the harmful consequences of global warming must include enough energy supply to sustain an affluent lifestyle for all.
• A step-by-step quantitative analysis of global warming and its remedies that any reader with basic mathematical competence can verify, allowing readers to gain confidence in their understanding and assessment of the issues around global warming.
• The transparent, fact-based assessment of the viability, effectiveness, and affordability of the remedies offered by proven and emerging technologies.
