In \u003ci\u003eThe Carbon Wave\u003c\/i\u003e,   Stokes chronicles the turbulent path of their climate bill as it veered   between breakthrough and collapse—from the hopeful beginnings of the Green   New Deal in 2018, to the bill’s near-certain defeat by Senator Joe Manchin in   the winter of 2021, to the surprise passage of the landmark legislation in   August 2022.

But what if instead of making   ourselves smaller, we joined with others to maximize our impact? That’s the   carbon wave. And this book shows us how to make it.","brand":"The MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933597843711,"sku":"9780262054775","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780262054775_s600x595.jpg?v=1782146404","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780262054775","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
