That message is that with a combination of optimism and scientific curiosity all obstacles become opportunities and the possibilities of our world become limitless.

We need not accept that transportation consumes half our energy and that two-thirds of the energy you put into your car is immediately thrown away out the tailpipe. We need not accept that dangerous emissions are the price we must pay for a vibrant economy and a comfortable life. Above all we need not accept that we will leave our children a planet that is dirty overheated and depleted of resources. As Bill shares his vision he debunks some of the most persistent myths and misunderstandings about global warming. When you are done reading you'll be enlightened and empowered. Chances are you'll be smiling too ready to join Bill and change the world.
