Learned a lot how this is challenging to how to do
As a admirer of Bill, the amount of work he put into the book is praiseworthy. After reading this book I see how everything is connected from government policies to market to consumer and more importantly innovation from various sectors, to solve this problem. A must listen or read book for everyone.

A timely work by a writer of supreme credibility
As a forest officer in India I have dwelt with the subject of climate change and carbon sequestration for a decade. This book is panoramic in approach and exhaustive in discourse. It elaborates the sectors that contribute to greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the shared responsibility of mankind to act in unison to a clear plan before it is too late. Reading it has been a rewarding experience.
