At 400 parts per million, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached a menacing milestone. We've failed to get a handle on our addiction to fossil fuel, and now we're in desperate need of solutions for preventing runaway climate change. There is no magic pill for curing the climate threat - real solutions involve the difficult work of changing the way we run the economy. It's time to make a transition to a renewable-energy economy that respects the waste-absorption capabilities of the....
