520			_a2023 was the hottest year on record. 2024 may well be worse. Every day we hear something unusual. A fire here, a flood there, a storm surge, a cloudburst. These events affect all of us, our well-being, our health, our family, our work. Their frequency and intensity are increasing. Fortunately, however, we no longer lack explanations for these events. We know fossil fuels and the destruction of Nature by us humans are the primary reasons. Backstage Climate is an attempt to demystify this grim reality-the science, the politics and the economics behind climate change. It will also give you a glimpse of the policies, technology and solutions that can help us avoid a climate crisis. Awareness is the first step towards change, and this book is an attempt to make you aware of global warming and climate change in a simple and interesting manner. Going slightly beyond mere awareness, the attempt is to help the reader connect the dots and develop a perspective on the reasons, impact and solutions that can help us avoid a climate crisis.
