As climate policy makers, we are told – and we remind each other – to heed the scientists. This book is a great place to start. It’s an accessible and fast read that sets out an attainable and fast agenda to cut global warming in half in the next 20 years. As a long-time Congressional champion of cutting super climate pollutants, I recommend this timely book. Don’t miss it. ~ Representative Scott Peters, California’s 52nd Congressional District

What should the Biden Administration's first steps be to give the climate emergency the attention it deserves? A timely new book by three top climate experts, Cut Super Climate Pollutants Now!, lays out an absolutely essential part of initial climate action in the United States and other countries. They target a set of greenhouse gases that have two qualities: a huge potential for warming the earth and a short life in the atmosphere. Curbing emissions of these gases leads to an early slowing of the warming, a big payoff. Climate policymakers need to read this book, now. ~ James Gustave Speth, former chair, US Council on Environmental Quality

The race to Net Zero by mid-century is on. But it is action this decade that will prove decisive. Here, three stalwarts of climate policy urge us to walk and chew gum this decade: maintaining stringent efforts to cut carbon emissions and staging an all-out effort to reduce super pollutants and wipe out their short-lived contribution to warming. We do well to listen. ~ Rachel Kyte, Dean of The Fletcher School at Tufts University and former Vice President and Special Envoy for Climate Change at the World Bank

There is only one way we can reduce enough warming in the near-term to prevent the worst of climate impacts, and that is to cut short-lived climate pollutants now! The authors present a powerful case for this strategy, providing solutions for the climate crisis that will also bring strong collateral benefits for public health and food security, and contribute to sustainable prosperity. If we act now we can help address the ethical issues of intra-generational equity by giving societies, especially the poorest three billion, urgently needed time to adapt to unavoidable climate changes. ~ Romina Picolotti, President and founder of the Center for Human Rights & Environment, and former Environment Minister for Argentina

The authors offer new hope in the fight against climate change. They have broken open the revolutionary story on “super pollutants” and show how focusing on cutting them will avoid ‘three times as much warming by 2050 as cutting CO2 alone,’ as well as protect public health, promote social equity, and stimulate economic growth. This book is the much needed bright light at the end of our dark tunnel. ~ Gay Browne, author, Living With a Green Heart, and founder and CEO of Greenopia

These authors are renowned for building partnerships that forced year-by-year strengthening of the Montreal Protocol. If you truly want to save Earth, follow the teachings and signs they highlight in this new book to avoid irreversible effects of climate change across the globe. ~ Marco Gonzalez, Director, Montreal Protocol Ozone Secretariat (retired)

Inspired by the Montreal Protocol, the authors present a powerful plan to cut the rate of global warming in half by reducing the short-lived super climate pollutants over the next 10 years— a 10-year sprint that can help us avoid the dangerous tipping points that lie ahead. Time is running out, the cost of delay is growing, and as the authors urge, the time to act is now! ~ Jennifer Haverkamp, Director, Graham Sustainability Institute, University of Michigan, and former Special Representative for Environment and Water Res

These authors are not academic wishful thinkers; they are hard-headed environmental champions who will stop at nothing to save Earth from stratospheric ozone depletion and climate change. ~ Jacqueline Aloisi de Larderel, Director, UNEP's Technology and Economy Division in Paris (retired)

These authors are men of vision and action who tell a powerful story well-grounded in science and law. Their message is that humankind has the wisdom and the power to turn climate change into a climate of change. The landmark 2016 Kigali Amendment of the Montreal Protocol is their Exhibit A. We can prevent the Earth from being cooked in the oven of the climate crisis. Please listen and learn as they lead us to a clearer, cooler, and happier pathway. ~ Antonio A. Oposa, Jr., Leader of the Normandy Chair for Peace, Ombudsman for Future Generations

These authors have almost magic ways of persuading people from all walks of life and cultures rich and poor to work together for the common good of humankind and Earth. ~ Rajendra Shende, Chairman of TERRE Policy Centre, Pune

My life as an environmental authority for Ghana was forever changed by joining hands with IGSD in the fight against environmental dumping of inefficient appliances—both new and used—that are using super climate pollutants. Read this book and find the way forward to a sustainable Earth! ~ Kofi A. Agyarko, Director, Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency, & Climate Change, Ghana Energy Commission

Inspiring call to climate action from modern day Musketeers, Miller, Zaelke, and Andersen! ~ Dr. Husamuddin Ahmadzai, Mensa Milieu, Laureate United Nations and US EPA Global Ozone Layer Protection awards
