The Non-Solution Solution chapter details Mann’s concerns that those
opposing climate action promote “solutions” (natural gas, carbon capture,
geo-engineering) that Mann argues aren’t real solutions at all. “Part of
their strategy is using soothing words and terms – ‘bridge fuels,’ ‘clean
coal,’ ‘adaptation,’ ‘resilience’ – that convey the illusion of action but,
in context, are empty promises,” he writes. Mann’s preferred “viable path
forward on climate involves a combination of energy efficiency,
electrification, and decarbonization of the grid through an array of
complementary renewable energy sources. The problem is that fossil fuel
interests lose out in that scenario, and so they have used their immense
wealth and influence to stymie any efforts to move in that direction.”
