Book Description: 'Americans and Climate Change: Closing the Gap Between Science and Action' explores the complex relationship between science and action in addressing climate change. The author argues that while there is a wealth of scientific research on the topic, there remains a significant gap between what we know and what we do to address the problem. The book examines the reasons for this gap and offers practical solutions to bridge it, emphasizing the importance of understanding the technological process of developing modern knowledge as the key to the survival of humanity and the unity of people in a warring state. The book begins by discussing the history of climate change research, highlighting the major milestones and discoveries that have shaped our current understanding of the issue. It then delves into the various factors that contribute to the gap between science and action, including political polarization, economic interests, and the challenges of communicating scientific information to the public. The author also explores the role of technology in addressing climate change, examining the potential benefits and limitations of different approaches such as renewable energy, carbon capture and storage, and geoengineering. The second half of the book focuses on the need for a personal paradigm shift in how we perceive and interact with technology. The author argues that we must move beyond simply consuming technology and instead embrace it as a tool for empowerment and self-determination. This requires a deeper understanding of the technological process of developing modern knowledge and its implications for society.
