Carbonomics: How to Fix the Climate and Charge It to OPEC

Carbonomics was ahead of its time. A year before the Copenhagen debacle it explained why this was inevitable, and the last quarter of the book tells what to do about it. The trick is to design a self-enforcing treaty based on self interest. The book clearly explains how this can be accomplished by using clever rewards and penalties.

Carbonomics was also ahead of its time in advocating the Cantwell-Collins approach now before the U.S. Senate. In fact it goes a step further and explains the "untax" now advocated by James Hansen.

Finally, as its subtitle shows, Carbonomics was well ahead of the recent push by President Obama and some Veterans' organizations to align clean-energy policy and energy-security. In fact it shows exactly how to align these two agendas and how to avoid the pitfalls that would split the required coalition. Only by unifying these two groups will we get a strong enough policy to curb our oil addiction, take back our money from OPEC and fix the climate.
