Table of ContentsReviews“This immensely readable and deeply insightful book by one of the world’s most distinguished atmospheric scientists should be read by everybody who wants to better understand global environmental problems and solutions. Solomon shows that even the worst environmental problem of all—climate change—can still be mastered if society will only rise to the challenge.” * John P. Holdren, President Obama’s science advisor, 2009–2017 * “In Solvable, Susan Solomon rolls up her sleeves and digs into the lessons of past environmental problems, including DDT and acid rain, to inspire our hope for the future. She shows how today’s problems, though daunting, are also solvable.” * Fred Krupp, president, Environmental Defense Fund * “In a narrative that sweeps from the excitement of scientific discovery to the halls of Congress and international diplomacy, Solomon reminds us that humanity has solved seemingly impossible environmental problems before and can do so again. An inspiring and illuminating book for anyone worried about the environmental challenges of today. Highly recommended!” * Anthony Leiserowitz, director, Yale Program on Climate Change Communication * Author InformationSusan Solomon is professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and was the founding director of the MIT Environmental Solutions Initiative.
