From the Back Cover:
Global warming is real and not a problem that will disappear on its own. This book explains why it is now time to mobilize the world's financial markets to work for the good of mankind. The money to finance the changes necessary to prevent climatic mutation should come from Wall Street, instead of Washington or Berlin.
In order to prevent Helsinki from becoming a summer holiday destination, the world will have to ante up $500 billion a year. It is a problem that will impact on a whole range of industries and affect the lives of everyone in the industrial world. A whole new breed of investment brokers will be created and these "green bankers" will inherit the earth.
"Global warming is the greatest problem of our time. Unfortunately, the debate is marred by prejudice, misinformation and bigotry. But here is an original and timely book that sets out exactly what are the real problems.... So if you really want to save the planet, read this book."
