CLIMATE CHANGE and the road to NET-ZERO: Science • Technology • Economics • Politics

Great book and opened my eyes to the environment issues and importance of doing my bit to help.

A very well written and understandable case and solution for the global population to be able to urgently transition to net zero. Using his experience and expertise from science and finance, the author has painstakingly pieced together research and facts to create calculations, projections and well crafted ideas and visions which are presented clearly for the lay person to understand. For a non fiction book it is highly engaging and interesting. This is a must read for everyone and the future of the planet could depend on it! Very impressive and I shall be paying much closer attention to my own carbon footprint.

The main thing that stands out about this book is that it shows the scope and possibility of immediate action on climate change and the climate crisis. There is so much frustration about inaction from governments across the world and postponing the most important decisions of our time. This book proves that we can do something about it now and that it makes sense for everybody - economies included. Dr Hampshire-Waugh shows that it is time for the powers that be to act fast - No excuses.

I've been interested in researching this topic for a while but have struggled to find a publication that tackled it in a non bias and comprehensive fashion, so I was very happy to come across this new release. I don't have an ecological, economical, political or scientific background but I very much enjoyed the read; it has helped me understand the subject matter much more clearly and was very enlightening and educational, without reading like a text book. Highly recommend for those interested.

I couldn’t put this book down. If you are interested in the global climate challenge we all face then this is a must read. The author successfully delivers excellent factual insights in such an easy to read, clear and compelling way it made what is a complex topic such an enjoyable read. Great content, excellent perspectives.

‘Climate Change and the road to Net-Zero’ offers a well presented overview of the situation we’re in and the challenges we face. Hampshire-Waugh’s roadmap to net-zero is encouraging, and it outlines a brighter future for us all. A comprehensive and fascinating read.

The book goes into too much detail as to how the statistical models demonstrate temperature rise. It felt like a university text book. The arguments made are clearly well proven but doesn't make an easy read.

I just finished ‘There is no planet B’ by Mike berners-lee and wanted to dig further into the economics of climate change so I read this book and was not disappointed. Lots of information, all clearly set out, and it covers all aspects of the climate problem and how we solve it. I’d highly recommend reading!

Mathew does an incredible job articulating a past to present view regarding the climate history of our planet to set the stage and follows through is his balanced assessment of the science behind climate change, the effects on our planet and society and possible future scenarios based on different approaches. The most valuable part from my perspective is that he goes beyond simply saying where we're likely headed but offers tangible solutions and explores both the effectiveness and the economics of those solutions. What I really appreciated about his work is that it's not that of a climate alarmist; Mathew's approach is one of science and sense and this is what is needed to wake those up who still believe that climate change and the consequences that come with it, don't exist and aren't already happening. Bravo Mathew!

Superb books on climate change implications and the wisdom in moving towards net zero. Must read for anyone working in this area.

This is a thorough, well documented account of the effects of years of burning fossil fuels. The technology to go green exists. The question is whether people will accept the changes which must come about to save the planet and humanity. More people need to read this book.

If there is just one book you read on the topic, then it should be this one! It is a comprehensive and compact book at the same time. I still use this book to look things up. Highly recommended!!!

This is a much "deeper" dive into Climate change than this year's Bill Gates book (which is also good), but with better technical datail. Well done, Mathew!
