Paul Hawken and the Project Drawdown experts thought they knew what to expect when they modeled and ranked 80 solutions that could reverse global warming. But the data had some surprises in store.

Most prominently was that even when the solutions are modeled in terms of what they call a “Plausible Scenario” — a conservative measure of projected solution implementation that is “reasonable yet optimistic” — society still makes great strides toward achieving drawdown, the point where greenhouse-gas levels in the atmosphere begin to decline.
