Five Times Faster

Rethinking the Science, Economics, and Diplomacy of Climate Change

New Hardback

Postscript summary

Named for the speed with which action needs to be taken to alleviate the worst affects of climate change, this insightful volume questions the commonly held belief that the lack of progress so far lies at the feet of the oil companies, consumers and politicians. Having worked within government for a decade, Simon Sharpe instead points towards communication between science and politics, economic assumptions and global cooperation as the real areas of concern, demonstrating that while much work is happening in these fields structural changes within them hold the key to success.
