Beschreibung
Many politicians, industry leaders, and even some scientists advocate replacing carbon-based energy carriers with other elements and mineral-based solutions. But in The Decarbonization Delusion, Andrew Moore argues that we should instead look to the biological Earth as a model for how humans can use carbon sustainably. Moore challenges the idea that the race to decarbonize is good for the planet. In fact, he argues that doing so could lead us further down the road to environmental disaster. Heavily researched, The Decarbonization Delusion uses sound reasoning and solid data to demonstrate why carbon should continue to play a critical role in our energy economies.
