Click here to Download Pumping the Brakes on Climate Change: a Review of the Technologies and Politics that could Leave the Future a Future (PDF).
Dear Advance Readers:
For now all I have available is a PDF: please download a copy with my compliments. As I learn or pay someone to convert Word to e-book formats, I will commercialize this website, but for now I'm soliciting your help finishing my book, trying to get technologies and ideas for fighting climate change in front of those of you who can do something with them, and hoping to help bring about these changes before climate change becomes unstoppable.
If any of you want to contribute to PTBOCC, or to clean up my explanations of your technology, I will gladly send you the pertinent parts, or the whole book, in Microsoft Word. Go to the Get in Touch page and get in touch with me, please. And if instead of downloading PTBOCC, you read it on line--best full screen--you can highlight a bit, right click on it, and leave a comment that I, and everyone who reads it thereafter, will see. You can also send longer comments and corrections to me at ptbocc.ptboccatgmail.com.
I have not decided yet whether to seek a traditional publisher for PTBOCC. For one thing, I don't much care for the way publishers treat writers, lately. For another, PTBOCC is a work in progress. I can't help myself, I keep learning about exciting new low/no carbon tech that I have to share with you. If I keep editorial control I can publish updates as I see fit. With more than 50 color images--and I'd like a lot more--and almost as many sidebars explaining, to the best of my current understanding, the science behind these technologies, PTBOCC would be an expensive hardcopy, and traditional publishers generally want an affordable hardcopy. Images cost extra when you're paying to have a book translated into an e-book format, and color costs a great deal extra when you print, but nothing extra when you download, keeping e-books more affordable. I don't want cost to get in the way of anyone reading PTBOCC.
This has been a lot of work--3 1/2 years, so far--and I'm just getting started. I mean to continue and expand this website, continue to improve PTBOCC, and I hope to do a series of YouTubes and maybe a TED Talk or two to promote these ideas. I am retired on just enough, and I have already spent a couplea " k" on this project. If you'd care to "buy me a coffee," your donations will be put to good use keeping me in coffee so I can keep bangin' away at this, and maybe even hire some help who knows how to do websites and e-books and YouTubes.
Thank you!

Click on Tip Jar to leave me a donation. Stripe (payment processor) asks for your email address, but I don't know why. I'm not going to bother you, unless you contact me, and I won't give/sell/share it with anybody. Promise. Actually I don't even think I have access to it; I think it's so Stripe can contact you if anything looks fishy..
