Dr. Cal Beisner of the Cornwall Alliance gives an overview of his book, Climate and Energy: The Case for Realism, a collection of essays by climate scientists, economists, and other professionals.  Environmental goals can absolutely be met in a way that does not threaten the survival of billions of human beings (ending fossil fuels, nuclear, etc.). Bonus: This book gives proper credit to the elephant in the room or the climate change debate chamber: the sun, with its cycles, weather, storms, and earthward springing flares. Where does the sun figure into the dozens of widely varying climate change models cited by leading scientists?
