    About this audiobook

    What can we really do about the climate emergency?

    The inconvenient truth is that we are causing the climate crisis with our carbon intensive lifestyles and that fixing – or even just slowing – it will affect all of us. But it can be done.

    In Net Zero the economist Professor Dieter Helm addresses the action we would all need to take, whether personal, local, national or global, if we really wanted to stop causing climate change.

    Net Zero is Professor Dieter Helm’s measured, balanced view of how we stop causing climate change by adopting a net zero strategy of reducing carbon emissions and increasing carbon absorption. It is a rational look at why the past 30 years efforts has failed and why and how the next 30 years can succeed. It is a vital book for anyone who hears the clamour of Extinction Rebellion and other ecological activists, but wonders what they can actually do.

      I am no economist, but I am strongly of the opinion that, were these policies to have been adopted - even 10 years ago - we would have had a chance of a smooth transition away from fossil fuel dependency. As it is, this strategy would ease the pain and give real hope that civilization might evolve rather than crash into a ne form, or worse... cease.Helm is well worth the reading
