If you have explored the RAF site and want to know more about global warming, RAF invites you to take a Deep Dive into the mechanisms fuelling climate change and their consequences — for both our planet and our economies.
Across fourteen chapters, Marc Salzer Levi presents the science, the economics, and the case for action.
- Chapters 1 – 12 set out the peer-reviewed, fact-based science proving that global warming is real, accelerating, and consequential.
- Chapter 13 presents the economic evidence that rapidly transitioning to renewable energy — and phasing out most biofuels, factory farming and factory fishing — would not only save the planet but also deliver substantial financial and health benefits.
- Chapter 14 argues that, despite widespread denial and apathy, a Climate Repair Deal is still feasible — and that Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB) may give humanity the time it needs to implement it.
