With an acknowledgements list that in addition to climate activists and scientists includes Thomas Friedman, Jeff Bezos and Michael Bloomberg, the book gives insight into the types of climate solutions that rich and powerful people are comfortable endorsing: changing your attitude, planting trees, buying electric vehicles and protesting a general lack of action by global leaders rather than the specific business model of an industry or corporation. Figueres and Rivett-Carnac then argue that we have to be like Nelson Mandela, who forgave his captors after being locked up in South African prisons for 27 years. "The process of letting go is essential, and it must be intentional," the book seems to argue of forgiving fossil fuel industry misdeeds. "Blame is really our enemy here," Rivett-Carnac told me. "If we now try to go through this transition and try to pinpoint blame as to people who slowed it down, people who caused problems, we're going to end up in an incredibly messy and complicated place."
