  1. 1. The Big Fix by Hal Harvey, Justin Gillis

    7 Practical Steps to Save Our Planet

    A pragmatic, policy-focused roadmap for rapidly cutting greenhouse gas emissions that emphasizes scalable, politically realistic steps rather than technological idealism. The authors outline practical measures — including aggressive energy efficiency, widespread electrification powered by low‑carbon electricity, cleaner fuels and industrial processes, carbon pricing and smart regulation, accelerated innovation, and international cooperation — and explain how governments, businesses, and communities can deploy existing solutions quickly to blunt climate change while keeping economies strong.

  2. 2. Net Zero by Dieter Helm

    How We Stop Causing Climate Change

    A clear-eyed critique of current climate policy that argues we must be realistic about costs, trade-offs and technologies if we are to actually eliminate greenhouse-gas emissions: it calls for honest accounting rather than optimistic promises, market-based mechanisms (not endless subsidies), prioritizing proven low‑carbon options including nuclear and carbon capture where appropriate, caution about overreliance on offsets and unproven solutions, and stronger, more pragmatic government planning to achieve emissions reductions while protecting energy security and consumers.
