How Bad Are Bananas? was a groundbreaking book when first published in 2009, when most of us were hearing the phrase 'carbon footprint' for the first time. Mike Berners-Lee set out to inform us what was important (aviation, heating, swimming pools) and what made very little difference (bananas, naturally packaged, are good!). This new edition updates all the figures (from data centres to hosting a World Cup) and introduces many areas that have become a regular part of modern life - Twitter, the Cloud, Bitcoin, electric bikes and cars, even space tourism.

When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that "the science is settled." In reality, the long game of telephone from research to reports to the popular media is corrupted by misunderstanding and misinformation. Core questions - about the way the climate is responding to our influence, and what the impacts will be - remain largely unanswered. The climate is changing, but the why and how aren't as clear as you've probably been led to believe.

Este libro es una carta de navegación, una guía para orientarnos en medio de la catástrofe. Pues sí: estamos metidos en unacatástrofe climática (o, mejor dicho, nos metieron en ella). Para encontrar las posibles salidas, nos dice Pablo Montaño, lo primero es entender la magnitud del problema: hemos calentado el planeta al punto de alterar los ciclos naturales, ocasionando sequías, megahuracanes, incendios, incremento del nivel del mar. Pero esta crisis tiene un responsable directo: el capitalismo, un modelo económico basado en la extracción, el consumo y la desigualdad.
