Rich, Nathaniel, 1980-2020
Books
The lack of environmental progress that followed the establishment of the extent of our current knowledge on climate change in 1979 is looked back on as a missed opportunity, the whys and hows of which are considered here. By 1979, we knew all that we know now about the science of climate change - what was happening, why it was happening, and how to stop it. Over the next ten years, we had the very real opportunity to stop it. Obviously, we failed. Nathaniel Rich tells the essential story of why and how, thanks to the actions of politicians and businessmen, that failure came about. It is crucial to an understanding of where we are today.
