But, Andrew Moore argues that we should instead look to the biological Earth as a model for how humans can use carbon sustainably. Moore challenges the idea that the race to decarbonize is good for the planet. In fact, he argues that doing so could lead us further down the road to environmental disaster. Heavily researched, 'The Decarbonization Delusion' uses sound reasoning and solid data to demonstrate why carbon should continue to play a critical role in our energy economies.
