Conventional wisdom on how to deal with climate change has failed us, according to Roger Pielke, and it's time to change course. Using an arithmetic and logical explanation, Pielke explores the problem and practical ways of meeting growing energy demands. In this thought-provoking discussion of the interaction between science and politics, Pielke proposes a means for digging ourselves out of this climate change mess we've created.

Pielke is the author, co-author, or co-editor of seven books, including The Honest Broker: Making Sense of Science in Policy and Politics and, most recently, The Climate Fix.
