Ending Fossil Fuels

Ending Fossil Fuels is a book about why simply scaling up clean energy isn't enough to address climate change.  We also need to plan how fossil fuel production can be ended.  Isn't this obvious?  Yes, kind of.  Are people actually making these plans?  Not to the degree needed.  Ending Fossil Fuels describes some things we can do about this.

The Spanish translation of After Geoengineering is now available!

“Tras la geoingeniería no es un catálogo de estrategias terraformadoras para que el capital elija de qué manera le conviene adaptarse para sobrevivir. Más bien, es un texto que proporciona tanto ideas técnicas con las que navegar la crisis climática, como propuestas sociales a través de las cuales reparar y restaurar no solo el clima sino la forma en la que la humanidad y las otras especies no humanas habitan la Tierra”
— Alejandro Rivero-Vadillo, traductor y autor del prólogo

After Geoengineering

 After Geoengineering is a book about best and worst-case scenarios for deliberately intervening in the climate. It integrates fiction and nonfiction to explore re-imagining carbon removal technologies.
