Our second pick of the year is The Citizen's Guide to Climate Success: Overcoming Myths that Hinder Progress by Mark Jaccard. You can find it available for download free of cost here.
We will be meeting to discuss the book on Wednesday, June 8th at 7 PM. Check out the event page for more info.
Mark Jaccard is a Canadian energy economist and author. His research focuses on the design and application of models that assess sustainability policies for energy and climate. Jaccard holds the title of Distinguished Professor for teaching sustainable energy in the School of Resource and Environmental Management (REM) at Simon Fraser University.
More importantly, Jaccard shows how to distinguish climate-sincere from insincere politicians and increase the chance of electing and sustaining these leaders in power. In combining the personal and the political, The Citizen's Guide to Climate Success offers a clear and simple strategic path to solving the greatest problem of our times."
