Climate Capitalism: Capitalism in the Age of Climate Change is a 2011 book by L. Hunter Lovins and Boyd Cohen. It presents positive stories and examples of how profit-seeking companies are helping to save the planet, and says that "the best way to rebuild America’s economy, cities and job markets is to invest in energy efficiency and renewable energy resources, whether climate change is happening or not".{{cite web |url=http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/entertainment/52913894-81/climate-lovins-capitalism-lecture.html.csp |title=Lovins lectures tonight on 'Climate Capitalism' at Westminster |author= |date=15 November 2011 |work=The Salt Lake Tribune }} However, reviewer Gail Whiteman is unconvinced by the argument that naked greed and market forces will drive businesses to cut their greenhouse gas emissions.{{cite journal |author=Gail Whiteman |date=12 May 2011 |title=Climate economics: Corporate greening falls short |journal=Nature |volume= 473|issue=7346 |pages=149–150 |doi=10.1038/473149a |bibcode=2011Natur.473..149W |doi-access=free }}
