Climate Warrior: Climate Activism and Our Energy Future

What will you do for our children and grandchildren, knowing their future depends on it?Climate Warrior weaves together the story of one person's response to this question: from awakening and education, to inspiration, advocacy, and action. This book shares Brad Rouse’s personal journey from businessman to climate activist and his efforts to inspire others to join the movement. In the battle for a greener future, he encounters memorable people and organizations – from Al Gore to an ailing senior citizen with high energy bills and a collapsing floor. He describes his vision of a far better future without fossil fuels and the two preferred methods of making this dream real — climate activism and carbon pricing. Climate Warrior reaches beyond the confines of "memoir" and provides data to support the possibility of a total transformation of the energy system and economy. It details the best ways to speed up this transformation through legislation and the personal actions of millions of people. Climate Warrior is written to help the non-expert develop an understanding of the energy transition ahead and learn how to join the army of climate activists.
