It would halve the number of humans that will be exposed to water scarcity; prevent runaway sea level rise that could put many of the world’s islands under water and render uninhabitable the large delta and low-coastal regions that are home to two-thirds of the world’s population. That is a lot for just one technology.

All point out to one certainty: Humankind has the technological tools to fix this crisis. The book also highlights energy efficiency opportunities in industry, such as converting the steel industry to Electric Arc Furnace which is as much as 90 percent more efficient than the current Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF).

It describes fluctuations between the sea level atmospheric pressure from the areas known as the Azores High and the Icelandic Low although these are not set in stone (8). Cutting down tree canopies without replacing it passively increases climate change by the simple fact that trees and other vegetation are carbon sinks (15).

Acidification : Reducing the pH rating of a substance making it more acidic in nature, for example, increased carbon emissions lead to the oceans absorbing more of it, increasing acidification and damaging ecology such as coral bleaching. We are already seeing the depletion of the ice caps and rising sea levels.

In my retelling of the show, I quickly pointed out that the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had by then concluded that “most” of the increase in average global temperatures since 1950 was “very likely” due to the increase in human-made carbon emissions. ExxonMobil is still funding those folks, big time.”

“We have an underfunded and under-resourced DEP that has had to make significant staffing cuts, whilst the fracking industry the DEP is tasked to regulate has flourished with the aid of technology. Solar panels on homes or businesses would cut electric bills and add property value.

The central drama of Apocalypse Never is how climate activists and renewables advocates have diverted World Bank funding from cheap and reliable sources of power like hydro-electric dams, which would benefit the book’s main heroine, Bernadette, a small farmer in the Congo. Nuclear energy is that solution, Shellenberger has long advocated.”
