Summary
The key to tackling climate change is moving away from burning fossil fuels to using renewable energy. But in his book More and More and More , French historian Jean-Baptiste Fressoz argues that the world has never actually managed a successful energy transition before and current plans are unrealistic. Many have taken his writing to mean that stopping global warming is impossible, however, he tells Akshat Rathi this week on Zero, his view is actually quite different.
