“At last – a global plan that actually adds up.”
– James Hansen
Climate Scientist
The 100% Solution lays out the physical steps we must – and can – achieve to reach net-negative greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Written because the author couldn’t find a comprehensive analysis that actually added up to a full solution, the fully-illustrated and accessible book takes readers through high-level logic about what approaches can solve climate change, and presents a brief analysis of physical options for clean equipment and the role various governments, companies, and activists can play.
This book arms activists with specific demands, sets the stakes for what our leaders must achieve, and proves that with comprehensive thinking we can still take back our future.

Selected clips of Solomon speaking:
Solomon Goldstein-Rose has been a climate activist since age 11. His education in engineering and public policy gave him a unique perspective on the intersection of what physically has to happen to solve climate change and what approaches might actually make it happen. After interning in the Obama White House and in Congress during college, Solomon ran for the Massachusetts state legislature at age 22 and got elected on a platform focused on climate change. During his term he passed several small energy and education policies and created local initiatives for civic education and engagement. In 2018 he canceled his campaign for re-election so he could work full-time on climate change at the national and global levels. The 100% Solution framework is a product of his political experiences, numerous meetings with technical experts and activists, and intensive research and analysis. Solomon is also passionate about education policy and election system reform. He lives in Amherst, MA, and makes time for hiking, farming, and directing children’s theater.
