Surviving Global Warming: Why Eliminating Greenhouse Gases Isn't Enough Roger A. Sedjo (2019) This provocative and important overview of the challenges of and possible approaches to climate change by an expert and shared recipient of a Nobel Peace Prize is essential reading for policy makers, climate scientists, and lay persons alike.Though the Paris Agreement on climate change was a significant achievement, most authorities agree that its measures to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions will be insufficient to offset the forecasted increase in global warming. Even in the unlikely case of ideal compliance, the Earth will still experience major climate-driven damages. Given this reality, climate expert Roger A. Sedjo argues in this book that a Plan B is required. He makes a compelling case that doing more of the same, by focusing only on the mitigation plan of the Paris Agreement, will leave humanity increasingly vulnerable; instead, we must also begin planning adaptation strategies--Plan B--which enable societies to anticipate and protect against the worst effects of inevitable climate change. The author examines several areas where environmental damage could be severe. Sea-level rise is a major concern and measures could be, and in some cases are now being, undertaken to protect coastal areas. The author also addresses the need for more robust action to ward off the likely decline in agricultural productivity, destruction of forests and biodiversity, and the impact of natural catastrophes like hurricanes made worse by climate change. In addition, he considers geo-engineering strategies, such as atmospheric reflectivity, which may play a role in lessening the impact of global warming.

The item did not arrive, but the seller promptly refunded my money. I then reorder and received my second order quickly. Thank you for being honest; I find this to be rare on eBay lately. Out of 30+ orders, four didn't show up, and two were refunded promptly—this seller being one. While two other sellers refused to help. I have found eBay's buyer protection to be misleading, I am out hundreds $ because they refused to help. Kudos to this seller for being honest and taking care of their buyers!
Although the item was refunded and I ultimately wasn't able to receive the item; the seller was extremely prompt (within an hour) in letting me know that the item was out of stock, issuing a refund on my behalf, and removing the listing from the ebay storefront. While I am sad I won't be able to get the item from them, I appreciate the transparency and professionalism that the seller displays. Thank you and I hope to purchase from you in the future!
I was looking for the Boston tab sheet music. When i found it the seller put out a lower price. For some reason I goofed it up and missed out on the sale price. I asked the seller if He would consider giving the sale pice again. He did just that. It came perfectly wrapped and secure. I would definitely buy again. i would definitely buy again .
