Climate Dragon

"Climate Dragon: Treachery, Pestilence, and Weirding Weather describes how we currently generate and use energy in the United States. The scope of the book is enormous: from the emergence of oxygen in primordial seas to the current scourge of heat-trapping gases in the last 150 years, topics range from the global to the molecular and even sub-atomic, yet it is accessible to the reader. Climate Dragon's story is told by Jake and Abbey, a couple who manage Dragonfly Inn and share their insights into renewable energy. What emerges is the simple truth that our future together on Earth depends on how quickly we can transition to renewable sources such as wind, solar devices (panels or thermal plants), wave energy, and hydroelectric energy. If human society is to continue into the next millennium in a way we would recognize today, we must make and use only zero-carbon electricity for our industries, our transportation, and our homes. At the same time, we must remove carbon dioxide and methane from the atmosphere and the oceans. Climate Dragon is your guide to that future."
