## Description

• New York Times bestseller • The 100 most substantive solutions to reverse global warming, based on meticulous research by leading scientists and policymakers around the world “At this point in time, the Drawdown book is exactly what is needed; a credible, conservative solution-by-solution narrative that we can do it. Reading it is an effective inoculation against the widespread perception of doom that humanity cannot and will not solve the climate crisis. Reported by-effects include increased determination and a sense of grounded hope.” —Per Espen Stoknes, Author, What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming “There’s been no real way for ordinary people to get an understanding of what they can do and what impact it can have. There remains no single, comprehensive, reliable compendium of carbon-reduction solutions across sectors. At least until now. . . . The public is hungry for this kind of practical wisdom.” —David Roberts, Vox “This is the ideal environmental sciences textbook—only it is too interesting and inspiring to be called a textbook.” —Peter Kareiva, Director of the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, UCLA In the face of widespread fear and apathy, an international coalition of researchers, professionals, and scientists have come together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate change. One hundred techniques and practices are described here—some are well known; some you may have never heard of. They range from clean energy to educating girls in lower-income countries to land use practices that pull carbon out of the air. The solutions exist, are economically viable, and communities throughout the world are currently enacting them with skill and determination. If deployed collectively on a global scale over the next thirty years, they represent a credible path forward, not just to slow the earth’s warming but to reach drawdown, that point in time when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere peak and begin to decline. These measures promise cascading benefits to human health, security, prosperity, and well-being—giving us every reason to see this planetary crisis as an opportunity to create a just and livable world.

Review: Encouraging Words for the Earth - I’ve been telling friends about this breakthrough new book, Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming, edited by Paul Hawken in close collaboration with hundreds of consulting climate scientists, mathematicians and pioneering experts from a broad range of fields. Seldom are heard such encouraging words about climate change reversal these days. In early July while on a windy walk I started to "hear" a song about Drawdown. First a single phrase came to mind, then a melody. I don't believe an audio recording would pass muster as an desertcart review but I'm posting the below lyrics to the completed song, which is my attempt to distill the book's contents in a way that will interest others in picking it up and reading it. This book is a labor of love for the Earth. It's greatly encouraging me and many other people: DRAWDOWN We’ve created a vast vicious circle of CO2 pollution warming oceans, land and air. We’ve got to break the cycle, get some corporate divorces, and give our Mother Earth a lot more tender loving care. Now we’re trying to birth a more auspicious circle, reversing global warming is on many awesome minds. As we find new ways of living more lightly on Gaia, we will leave our sad old fossilized fuel blues behind. To cool the biosphere we can draw down CO2, adding carbon to the soil produces much more food. No need to feel helpless or listless we can cool it, there’s a growing list of grassroots ways we’re already doin’ it! A book titled Drawdown tells 100 things now being done to lessen carbon levels, here are just a few: there’s managed grazing, biochar, regenerative agriculture, clean inexpensive cookstoves and silvopastures too. Developments in geothermal, wind and solar, microgrids, wave and tidal systems to power our homes and towns; in-stream hydro, biomass from methane gas digesters…Old King Coal will be a bygone as new sources abound. There’s 100 ways in Drawdown to undo global warming, 80 absolutely proven and presently in use. Many experts did the math, estimating costs and savings and the gigatons of CO2 that each way will reduce. Top ranked include less food waste and managing refrigerants, as well as plant-rich diets, family planning you will view, temperate and tropical forest preservation, and better education for girls and women too. Yes we’re drawing a virtuous circle, reversing global warming in a grassroots turnaround. Mothered by necessity and human ingenuity, this book evokes a surge of hope, empowering drawdown. ____________ I highly recommend Drawdown. If you're not quite ready to purchase it, you might like to learn more at drawdown.org or by googling Paul Hawken’s excellent 4.21.17 talk at the Seattle Town Hall, posted on youtube by talkingsticktv on 4.25.17. Feel free to contact me if you'd like me to send you the audiofile of the song in mp3 form. Geoff Oelsner, Fayetteville, Arkansas
Review: Roll up your sleeves, it’s game on! - It doesn’t matter where you fall in the climate change debate — or if you believe humans are fully to blame -- or if you wonder if we have “enough” time for a course correction. The invitation in this bold book is to take a smart tough look at feasible solutions. Paul Hawken’s well-researched Project Drawdown report shows the potential to apply science-based solutions. It’s filled with strategies and concepts that are proven and underway and big and small solutions -- technologies. Microgrids. Biomass. Farmland Restoration. Regenerative Agriculture. More productive Land Use. Smart Transit. High Speed Rail. Plus plenty actions you can immediately adopt in your daily life: plant rich diets, reduced food waste, composting, tree intercropping, even family planning, and educating girls globally. While the Trump administration tries to yank us backward by pulling out of the voluntary Paris Agreement, making drastic cuts in the EPA budget, and obscuring the science, there is instant rejection to those short sighted policies. Individuals, cities, states, and responsible corporations were galvanized to step up fill the leadership void with positive actions. We’ve already learned that it makes economic sense with job growth in the “green” economy expanding rapidly. When Trump tried to distract us with this clever speech line saying “Pittsburgh is not Paris” he got an answer within hours -- the mayors of those two cities got on the phone together and said: “Though separated by an ocean and a language, we share a desire to do what is best for our citizens and our planet. That means putting aside parochial politics…” We don’t have time for clever speech lines. We don’t have time for partisan politics. None of us will survive without clean air and water. Some duck and say “their” region might be safe. Really? I’m in Ohio, but I have a son in Houston and a daughter in Florida. Ask your neighbors where their friends live. It’s a time of Hurricanes. Harvey. Irma. Jose. Katia. A time of wildfires raging in the western US. Of earthquakes off the coast of Mexico. What are we waiting for? We don’t have time for fear mongering, or to argue if we are past the tipping point. Too much emphasis on problems can be overwhelming and cause people to shut down. But we do have time to roll up our sleeves and pitch in. And I do mean “we” instead of “you” or “I” or “them.” Instead of Game Over, it’s Game On! Is Drawdown too buoyant? Are the math carbon savings estimates too optimistic? Are the solutions enough to reverse global warming? So what if we clean our air, water, soil and it turns out that climate change is not fully man made? Are we still not further ahead? Drawdown invites us to go beyond our fears for the future. Drawdown solutions are not sci fi fantasies of flying off to colonize Mars. No, the Drawdown team of over 200 researchers from 22 nations has given us a list what we can do right now both as individuals, and by working together. Share this book of solutions with your neighbors. And we are ALL neighbors on this unique planet of ours.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Proven ideas for stabilizing the climate
*by C***M on August 28, 2021*

This book is a great addition to many public libraries, and for individuals and families engaged in climate activism. Both a technical and artistic accomplishment with one hundred proven ideas for stabilizing carbon dioxide, there should be a wave of parliamentarians who start applying the methods, such as, tropical forest conservation, solar thermal energy, solar photovoltaic, permaculture or perennial crops, geothermal, and electric cars. Each one of these and dozens more are described with three page detailed summaries, charts, and top quality color photos. Coordinating the strategies, like all climate campaigners know, is very difficult. A gasoline tax of twenty five cents per gallon would support electric cars, trains, buses, and local agriculture, with the carbon intensive option of distant agriculture becoming more expensive. On the other hand, any new tax on the middle class and working class means it is usually, but not necessarily, more challenging for people to improve homes with insulation, rooftop solar, and for the same people to eat more plant rich diets. Finally, the is a challenge with rogue nations. If only half or three quarters of the large nations are proactive climate, and nations like India, South Africa, Mexico, and Indonesia are slow with climate progress then short term benefits to the climate will be thwarted. Carbon drawdown is still important since the total amount of carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere is what drives global warming, however, the short-term gains we should be seeing from projects like rooftop solar and forest conservation in temperate regions are frequently going to be outweighed by excessive coal use in the Global South and the destruction of the tropical rainforests. Many of the carbon drawdown strategies can buy time for large-scale energy transitions. Just how much time we are buying is uncertain. Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) are an important strategy. Desert areas may have EGS over hundreds and thousands of square miles, in the next five years, if nuclear explosives are used by the US and other leading governments (tactical nuclear weapons used a half mile to one mile underground). The technological proposals in the 1960s for "nuclear plowshares" which were focused on canal construction and mining, can be applied to geothermal energy. The 2030 goal of 50% carbon dioxide reductions set by the IPCC is therefore more feasible than generally understood. Geothermal sources in the lower part of Earth's crust and upper mantle can be accessed far better than with ordinary geothermal wells.
