Sobre IBD

'Quench the Fire' is a comprehensive review of the subject of climate change, from a description of the basic science to the presentation of a detailed plan to mitigate the effects. A quantitative approach is used, where each mitigating strategy is evaluated in terms of its potential effect on the avoidance of temperature escalation. The results are surprising, and will lead you to reconsider many of the suppositions commonly espoused by media pundits and political leaders. What are the real effects of climate change in today’s and tomorrow’s world, and what effects are mistakenly attributed to climate change? What contribution to temperature de-escalation can be provided by electric vehicles and wind and solar power? Is there a place for nuclear power? What future technologies can make important contributions? The answers are here.
