The US congress has passed Obama’s climate and energy bill which will introduce a cap-trade system to reduce emissions by 14% by 2020 and 83% by 2050. Along with the $150billion previously announced for clean energy incentives and R&D, this will accelerate the global shift towards a low carbon, clean industrial revoltuion. Australia must lead this transformation or as a friend of mine tells me ‘we’ll be that blue-heeler dog you see barking loudly on the side of the road as the caravan passes us by’.
‘If you only buy one book on climate change, this should be it.’
Professor John Quiggin, Economist, Author of 'Zombie Economics'
'Humanity's greatest challenge is to minimise the consequences of climate change. With challenge comes opportunity. This book is about opportunity'
Professor Peter Doherty, Nobel Prize winner
