An ancient Hopi Indian prophecy is coming true; human activity is destroying planet Earth. Greenhouse gases are causing the temperatures of Earth to warm to destructively high levels. All living species, including human beings, are in danger of extinction. The reality of Earth's condition is this: the burning of fossil fuels must end now and never resume. This book contains a plan that will enable America to start the process of saving planet Earth. We must lead the world in the transition to clean, renewable energy sources. Read this book and embrace the plan. To save Earth, we must act now. Time is of the essence.

Readers examine the impact humans have had, and continue to have, on the Earth. Topics such as global warming, alternative energy sources, and the depletion of Earth’s natural resources are discussed in depth. Readers will receive the tools they need to be informed and act responsibly in their global future.

When Jeff Goodell first encountered the term 'geoengineering', he had a vague sense that it involved outlandish schemes to counteract global warming. As a journalist, he was deeply sceptical. But he was also intrigued. The planet was in trouble. Could geoengineers help? Climate change may well be the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced. Temperatures in some regions of the world could increase by as much as fifteen degrees by the end of the century, causing rising sea levels and severe droughts. But change could also happen much more suddenly. What if we had a real climate emergency, the ecological equivalent of the subprime mortgage meltdown how could we cool the planet in a hurry? As Goodell shows in this bracing book, even if we could muster the political will for it, cutting greenhouse gas emissions alone may not be enough to reduce the risk of climate catastrophe. This has led some scientists to pursue extreme solutions: huge contraptions that would suck CO2 from the air, machines that would brighten clouds and deflect sunlight away from the earth, even artificial volcanoes that would spray heat-reflecting particles into the atmosphere. In How to Cool the Planet, Goodell explores the scientific, political, financial, and moral aspects of geoengineering. How are we to change the temperature of whole regions if we can't even predict next week's weather? What if a wealthy entrepreneur shots particles into the stratosphere on his own? What about wars waged with climate control as the primary weapon? What happens to our relationship with nature when, as Goodell puts it, we all find ourselves living in a giant terrarium? And our options are dwindling. Maybe, Goodell suggests, we need to start taking geoengineering seriously. Maybe it's Plan B for the planet. And if it is, we need to know enough to get it right. Thoroughly reported and convincingly argued, How to Cool the Planet is a compelling tale of scientific hubris and technical daring. But it is also a thoughtful, even-handed look at a deeply complex and controversial issue. It's a book that will surely jump-start the next big debate about the future of life on earth.
