An Introduction

CLIMATE CHANGE SOLUTIONS - BY 2026 NOT 2050! To: My nieces and nephews, Lydia-Jo, Edie, Lizzie, Jake, Sam, Harry and Hollie THANKS & INTRODUCTION I would like to thank Erik Senior, Douglas Crawford-Brown, Caroline Kaufmann, Dr. Kay Ullmann, Brian McDonnell, Manish Agarwal, Benjamin Warr, Gillian Hartill and Peter Goldmark for their contributions to this solutions-focused book. The material it contains has been the product of over a decade worth of thinking and studying the subject from every conceivable angle, and has taken me on a personal journey through business and academia, from conviviality to solitude and back again - during which I have also read and studied over 100 books on the subject.  I hope this book serves as a useful reference to for those interested in the most pressing issue of our age.  Please feel free to comment. Yours, STEFAN RIGBY LUDGATE MA(Cantab.) ACA MBA(INSEAD), aka Stefboy73

Politicians and businessmen think they have a generation left to "solve" Climate Change, but God promises that "for the sake of the elect", "time will be cut short".  This is not to give up hope - we will all be judged for our actions in these Last Days, and we are admonished to do all in our might not to destroy the Earth. ... Yesterday I went to Durham Cathedral for Evensong by St. Catharine's College Cambridge Girls' Choir.  Before I went, I removed all the contents of my under-stairs cupboard ready to sort out.  When I got home, to my surprise, there was a guide to Durham Cathedral in one of the boxes.   Har...
