Like the other folks here, congrats on the successful end to an arduous project to take on: what to put in, what to leave out, shove something else in, and slice it down again. And having the discipline to sit down and "get'r done". Even though, I disagree with some main premises (if I can extrapolate from your writings here and at TH), one HAS to admire the effort and long hours.
Now, that said (and yes, you knew this was coming), I read a few things in the review that require comment. The most obvious one is "...and digs into the sticky business of how those remaining emissions allowances are allocated."
Have you been holding out on us, Lloyd? As in WHO gets to do the allocation, what is the decision system behind that, what are your means of doing that allocation, and how are you going to deal with the pushback against it (e.g., the Dutch Government just fell because of "doing with less" as well as "we're putting you out of business because emissions"?
Or will that last bit be the focus, as VB said, of your next book.
I have a few other questions but I'm juggling a few too many balls right now and I, individually, need to determine priorities and allocations. Later, sir!
I found Lisa’s comments on the topic of “degrowth: the inconvenient truth” to provide everything I need to know about why carbon equality is a dead-end goal.
Congratulations, Lloyd. Good luck, and it appears there will be room for another book in your future.

Delicious irony in LR's favourable review: "How do we make do with less? Alter offers concrete examples."

Hi Lloyd!
I'm really looking forward to the book, and this review makes me even more excited. Am I right in saying that the UK release date is July 4th?
I am going to recommend it to my university library, but I can't do that until it's actually published/available in the UK.
Cheers,
Gosse
