Three keys to unlocking the mysteries of climate change
The basics of climate change
Feedback loops (nature's risk amplifiers)
El niño, volcanoes, and global dimming (the climate change wildcards)
Future manifestitations of global warming (the potential costs of inaction)
Climate change skeptics (scientific champions or modern-day charlatans?)
Population and sustainability (smaller footprints/more feet)
except when they don't (solving the "problem of the commons")
Peak oil (global warming's evil twin)
Glimpsing a sustainable future (terawatts, electric vehicles, and the smart grid)
Nuclear power and clean coal (bridges to a sustainable future)
Renewable options : electricity (reading the menu at the last chance saloon)
Renewable options : transportation (biofuels and hydrogen)
Picking the least-flawed alternatives (adventures in the abyss).
