The science on climate change has been clear for a very long time now. Yet despite decades of appeals, mass street protests, petition campaigns, and peaceful demonstrations, we are still facing a booming fossil fuel industry, rising seas, rising emission levels, and a rising temperature. With the stakes so high, why haven't we moved beyond peaceful protest? In this lyrical manifesto, noted climate scholar (and saboteur of SUV tires and coal mines) Andreas Malm makes an impassioned call for the climate movement to escalate its tactics in the face of ecological collapse.

From a young age, Victor Steffensen has had a passion for traditional cultural and ecological knowledge. This was further developed after meeting two Elders, who were to become his mentors and teach him the importance of cultural burning. Developed over many generations, this knowledge shows clearly that Australia actually needs fire. Steffensen's story is unassuming and honest, while demonstrating the incredibly sophisticated and complex cultural knowledge that has been passed down to him, which he wants to share with others.

Un sincero y revelador análisis de las posibilidades energéticas de nuestro futuro. Así pues, este libro aborda temas tan importantes como la improbable y difícil tarea de descarbonizar el planeta, en parte por la estrecha relación entre la producción de alimentos y los combustibles fósiles, pero también destapa realidades incómodas, como la dependencia de las economías modernas respecto de la alta producción de amoníaco, metal, cemento y plástico.

Es wird wärmer und die Ursache ist das Kohlendioxid aus der Verbrennung von Kohle, Gas und Öl. Ein globaler Umstieg auf erneuerbaren Energien ist aber weder technisch noch finanziell rechtzeitig zu schaffen. Wir brauchen einen Plan B um Zeit zu gewinnen. Eine Chance bieten die Ozeane und Landpflanzen, die jedes Jahr rund die Hälfte der CO2 Emissionen absorbieren. Damit würde es zunächst genügen, die Emissionen auf die Hälfte zu senken und die CO2 Konzentration in der Atmosphäre bliebe konstant.

In Charged, James Morton Turner unpacks the history of batteries to explore why solving "the battery problem" is critical to a clean energy transition. As climate activists focus on what a clean energy future will create the history of batteries offers a sharp reminder of what building that future will consume. With new insight on the consequences for people and communities on the front lines, Turner draws on the past for crucial lessons that will help us build a just and clean energy future, from the ground up.

The revised and expanded third edition of Hot Talk, Cold Science forms the capstone of the distinguished astrophysicist Dr. S. Fred Singer’s lucid, yet hard scientific look at climate change. And the book is no less explosive than its predecessors—and certainly never more timely. Singer explores the inaccuracies in historical climate data and the failures of climate models, as well as the impact of solar variability, clouds, ocean currents, and sea levels on global climate—plus factors that could mitigate any human impact on world climate.

Over the last half a billion years, there have been five mass extinctions of life on earth. Scientists around the world are currently monitoring the sixth, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. Elizabeth Kolbert combines brilliant field reporting, the history of ideas and the work of geologists, botanists and marine biologists to tell the gripping stories of a dozen species – including the Panamanian golden frog and the Sumatran rhino – some already gone, others at the point of vanishing.

This work positions itself as an essential guide for understanding the challenges of the 21st century, offering a critical and comprehensive analysis of the climate crisis and its profound political, economic, and social implications. With a multidisciplinary approach, the book explores the intersections between climate change, geopolitics, the global economy, and intergenerational justice, establishing itself as a crucial reference in the current debate.

As climate change has escalated into a crisis, the reuse of existing structures is the only way to even begin to preserve our wood, sand, silicon, and iron, let alone stop belching carbon monoxide into the air. Our housing crisis means that we need usable buildings now more than ever, but architect and critic Aaron Betsky shows that new construction—often seeking to maximize profits rather than resources, often soulless in its feel—is not the answer.

Erleben Sie die dramatische Geschichte des Klimawandels und die entscheidenden Herausforderungen, denen wir uns gegenübersehen. In diesem fesselnden und informativen Buch erklärt Maximilian Verde auf verständliche Weise die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen, die erschreckenden Auswirkungen auf unseren Planeten und die vielversprechendsten Lösungen, die bereits heute existieren.

De acuerdo, el cambio climático es el mayor reto al que nos enfrentamos en el siglo XXI. Lo hemos oído mil veces, ¿pero qué quiere decir eso? ¿Cómo tengo que actuar en medio de mensajes apocalípticos y culpabilizadores? ¿Por qué no hago nada cuando sé que debería hacerlo? ¿Sirve de algo que yo cambie si no cambia el sistema económico? ¿Qué tiene que ver una semana laboral de cuatro días con una cebolla envuelta en plástico?

"Ein unverzichtbarer Leitfaden für alle, die die Zukunft aktiv mitgestalten wollen." Claudia Kemfert Inmitten zahlreicher Krisen und verschärfter gesellschaftlicher Debatten verlieren gerade viele Menschen die Hoffnung auf eine gute Zukunft. Wir scheinen vor einer riskanten Wahl zu stehen: Retten wir die deutsche Wirtschaft, sorgen wir für ein auskömmliches Leben für alle, oder verhindern wir gerade noch die Klimakatastrophe? Ein Team renommierter Expert*innen des Club of Rome und des Wuppertal Instituts widerlegt diese Scheinalternativen.

Nicht nur Bienen gilt es zu retten, auch den zauberhaftesten aller Vögel: den Kolibri. Sie sind als Baby klein wie ein Stecknadelkopf, brauchen ständig Nektar oder Fruchtfliegen. Doch einmal groß, stechen sie jede Rakete aus und können sich als einzige Vögel sogar rückwärts fortbewegen. Kolibris wurden schon immer als Wunderwesen verehrt, und doch sind diese zarten Geschöpfe in der heutigen Umgebung in Gefahr. Sie zu retten ist eine hohe Kunst.

Un relato asombroso de un incendio forestal colosal y una exploración panorámica de la relación rápidamente cambiante entre el fuego y la humanidad. En mayo de 2016, Fort McMurray, el centro neurálgico de la industria petrolera canadiense y el mayor proveedor extranjero de Estados Unidos, fue arrasado por un incendio forestal. La catástrofe, valorada en miles de millones de dólares, derritió vehículos, convirtió barrios enteros en bombas incendiarias y expulsó a 88.000 personas de sus hogares en una sola tarde.

The public remains largely uninformed about climate change and, for the most part, those who seek to draw attention to the issue are seen as ‘crazy’. There remains a terrifying gap between scientific reality and political action. Packed with his own experiences and insights from expert interviewees, Nick’s compelling account is less about the intricacies of the science and more about the mainstream perception of how we are understanding and responding to the problem.

Climate Change has become a major topic of debate in today's politics, with some advocating serious changes in policy in response to it, and others suggesting that scientists and politicians are misreading, misrepresenting, and misapplying the data. Elgin Hushbeck, Jr. is not afraid to challenge scientific orthodoxy, and in fact believes it is very important that we do so. In this little book, he gives an introduction to a number of problems that he and others see with the apparent consensus view on this topic.

Étudier les écosystèmes pour comprendre les services qu'ils nous rendent. Une contribution scientifique essentielle pour parer les effets du changement climatique. Spécialiste d'écologie fonctionnelle, une discipline qu'elle a largement participé à fonder, Sandra Lavorel mime les effets du réchauffement climatique sur les prairies alpines.

La crisis hídrica en México es cada vez más compleja, el Día Cero en la metrópoli más grande del país generó una gran alerta social, política y mediática, y ha puesto en evidencia que la explotación y contaminación del agua siempre han estado aquí.
