Instant New York Times Bestseller Financial Times Best Books of 2024 Climate investor and activist Tom Steyer shows us how we can win the war on climate-and why fighting for a sustainable future can help bring meaning and prosperity to our lives.The consequences of climate change&8212;rising waters, extreme weather, record temperatures&8212;are transforming our lives, as global warming accelerates more rapidly than scientists predicted even a few years ago. At the same time, the clean energy revolution is forging ahead faster than nearly anyone anticipated. As Tom Steyer sees it, these two trends together create a moment like the one America faced during World War II: on the one hand, an existential threat that demands our collective action; on the other, an opportunity to lead the world, protect the planet, and set the stage for a new generation of shared economic prosperity.In 2012, Steyer walked away from the highly successful investment fund he founded to devote himself full time to climate issues, and he's been on the front lines ever since.
