From Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former head from the Sierra Club Carl Pope comes a manifesto on what the advantages of taking action on environment change are concrete, immediate, and immense.

The 2016 election still left many individuals who are concerned about the surroundings fearful that progress on climate change would come screeching to a halt. But not Michael Bloomberg and Carl Pope.
Bloomberg, a business owner and former mayor of New York City, and Pope, a lifelong environmental head, approach climate differ from different perspectives, yet they reach equivalent conclusions. Without agreeing on every point, they share a belief that metropolitan areas, businesses, and residents can lead-and win-the battle against climate transformation, no matter which way the politics winds in Washington may shift.
In Weather of Wish, Bloomberg and Pope offer a good look at the challenge of climate change, the solutions they believe contain the most significant promise, and the useful steps that are necessary to attain them. Writing off their own experiences, and posting their own stories from federal government, business, and advocacy, Bloomberg and Pope give a road map for tackling probably the most challenging challenge the world has ever encountered. Along the way, they convert the usual way of thinking about climate transformation on its mind: from best down to bottom level up, from partisan to pragmatic, from costs to benefits, from tomorrow to today, and from dread to hope.
