New questions about climate change addressed in this guide include:
- Analysis of the Paris climate agreement, including the United States' withdrawal
- Implications of the clean energy revolution, from solar and wind power to batteries and electric cars
- The latest on climate science, including updates on efforts to stem or slow climate change
- Insights into what Donald Trump's presidency means for climate action in the US and internationally
As the global response to climate change continues to evolve, Climate Change: What Everyone Needs to Know® offers smart, unbiased answers to the most difficult questions in an area dogged by misunderstanding and politicization.
