Das Ziel der Pariser Klimakonferenz von 2015, die Erderwärmung auf 1,5 Grad Celsius zu beschränken, gilt für die Wissenschaft als gescheitert. Laut Weltklimarat steuert unser Planet bis zum Ende des Jahrhunderts auf eine Erwärmung von mindestens 2,8 Grad Celsius zu. Das brächte unser gesamtes Ökosystem zum Kippen und die Menschheit an den Rand der Überlebensfähigkeit: Stürme, schmelzende Polkappen, Dürren und Flutkatastrophen werden Städte und Länder bedrohen und damit den Lebensraum von Menschen und Tieren auf sämtlichen Kontinenten. Wie können wir diesen Kipppunkten entgegenwirken?

We in the West appear to be at a year zero, with the seeming end of the relative peace and prosperity we took for granted. The pandemic, Putin's invasion of Ukraine, growing tension with China, a rolling back of globalisation, Brexit, the return of inflation and painful interest rates - all these have shattered the illusions of the world as we knew it. For years our politicians have said they were going for growth and would ensure that those with least would benefit disproportionately from the proceeds of that growth. They've failed.

Why do the UN and certain politicians in the US and Western Europe continue to promote the fraudulent global warming hypothesis? With regards to the UN, it is all about the money—money for research and to affect socio-economic change. For many politicians, it is all about the power—the power to control the lives of the electorate. Power is the ultimate narcotic.

Never have so many undertaken such a widespread, hurried attempt to remake the world. Predictably, our hubris has led to unintended—and sometimes disastrous—consequences. Over the Seawall tells us the stories behind these unintended consequences and the fixes that can do more harm than good. From seawalls in coastal Japan, to the reengineered waters in the Ganges River Delta, to the artificial ribbon of water supporting both farms and urban centers in parched Arizona, Stephen Robert Miller traces the histories of engineering marvels that were once deemed too smart and too big to fail.

Epic wildfire. Devastating drought. Cataclysmic flooding. Extreme weather in the wake of climate change threatens to turn the American West into a region hostile to human habitation—a “Great American Desert,” as early US explorers once mislabeled it. As Bruce E. Cain suggests in this timely book, the unique complex of politics, technology, and logistics that once won the West must be rethought and reconfigured to win it anew in the face of a widespread accelerating threat.

El nuevo libro de Amitav Ghosh, una poderosa obra de historia, ensayo, testimonio y polémica, remonta nuestra crisis planetaria contemporánea al descubrimiento del Nuevo Mundo y la ruta marítima hacia el Océano Índico. ‘La maldición de la nuez moscada’ sostiene que la dinámica del cambio climático actual hunde sus raíces en un orden geopolítico secular construido por el colonialismo occidental.

En Asilvestrado, Isabella Tree cuenta la historia del "experimento Knepp", un proyecto pionero de rewilding en West Sussex que utiliza animales de pastoreo en libertad para crear nuevos hábitats para la fauna. Wilding es, sobre todo, una inspiradora historia de esperanza. Obligados a aceptar que la agricultura intensiva en la pesada arcilla de sus tierras en Knepp era económicamente insostenible, Isabella Tree y su marido Charlie Burrell dieron un espectacular salto de fe: decidieron dar un paso atrás y dejar que la naturaleza se hiciera cargo.

La situation n'est pas désespérée. La solution est en nous. Ça y est, nous avons dépassé le stade critique. Le dernier rapport du GIEC atteste que la vie sur terre deviendra à terme insoutenable. La cause : le réchauffement climatique que nous avons-nous-mêmes enclenché. Nous savons que nous sommes en perdition et nous ne réagissons pas. Pourquoi ? Sans qu'on le sache, se joue depuis des millénaires dans notre cerveau une terrible bataille. D'un côté il y a le striatum, petite structure nerveuse qui génère du plaisir. De l'autre il y a le cortex préfrontal, organe destiné à contrôler nos pulsions.

A young, conservative environmentalist provides an intrepid vision for both solving our climate crisis and prioritizing the American national interest. Politicians, pseudo-experts, and other partisans have led us to believe that there are only two approaches to climate change: doomerism or...

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is a wake-up call: The all-in stance in favor of renewables has rendered Europe's economy and national security vulnerable to Russian President Vladimir Putin. And America is in danger of making the same catastrophic energy mistake as Europe. Award-winning author Bill Herrington delivers the truth about U.S. energy, national security, and the environment—and exposes the misrepresentations of fossil fuels protestors and climate change activists.

Unser Planet ist begrenzt, aber wir müssen uns weiterentwickeln, um die Herausforderungen der Zukunft zu meistern. Anders Levermann, Leiter der Komplexitätsforschung am Potsdamer Klimainstitut, schlägt einen Weg vor, der dieses Dilemma auflöst und ganz nebenbei die Ungleichheitsexplosion in unserer Gesellschaft zähmt. Wir befinden uns am Ende des Zeitalters der Expansion – und wir brauchen eine Idee für den nächsten großen Schritt. Die Begrenztheit unserer Erde kollidiert mit der Notwendigkeit rasanter gesellschaftlicher Entwicklung.

Bill Gates passou uma década investigando as causas e os efeitos da mudança climática. Com a ajuda de especialistas nas áreas de física, química, biologia, engenharia, ciência política e finanças, ele se concentrou no que deve ser feito para impedir uma catástrofe ambiental. Neste livro, o fundador da Microsoft não explica apenas por que precisamos zerar as emissões líquidas de gases de efeito estufa, mas também detalha como podemos atingir esse objetivo e superar os desafios que temos pela frente.

En la era tiránica del ahora, impulsada por las noticias 24 horas al día, el último tuit y el botón de "comprar ahora", ¿cómo podemos ser capaces de pensar a largo plazo? Con un cortoplacismo tan frenético en la raíz de las crisis contemporáneas, desde las amenazas del cambio climático a la falta de planificación para una pandemia mundial, la llamada al pensamiento a largo plazo crece cada día.

In Before the Streetlights Come On, climate activist Heather McTeer Toney insists that those most affected by climate change are best suited to lead the movement for climate justice. McTeer Toney brings her background in politics, community advocacy, and leadership in environmental justice to this revolutionary exploration of why and how Black Americans are uniquely qualified to lead national and global conversations around systems of racial disparity and solutions to the climate crisis.

Great Adaptations is a call to action. It presses home the need for adaptations that are ecologically restorative and socially just. It examines how adaptation is framed, unpicks the contested notion of deep adaptation, explores the potential of transformative adaptation, and questions the legitimacy of the "reassuring stories" that still dominate mainstream climate discourse.

A mudança climática é real, mas não é o fim do mundo. Não é sequer nosso maior problema ambiental. Michael Shellenberger tem lutado por um planeta mais verde por décadas. Ajudou a salvar as últimas sequoias ameaçadas do mundo, co-criou o que seria o predecessor do atual Novo Acordo Verde (Green New Deal), além de, juntamente com cientistas climáticos e ativistas, liderar uma ação bem sucedida para manter as usinas nucleares funcionando, assim evitando os famosos "picos de emissão".

Pianeta Terra, anno 2050. Le nazioni non hanno mantenuto gli impegni presi, le emissioni di carbonio non sono diminuite e il riscaldamento globale ha reso il mondo un posto invivibile, scosso da rivolte politiche e fenomeni naturali catastrofici. Questo scenario può ancora essere evitato. Attraverso un'analisi dei rischi, delle possibilità che ci restano e un decalogo di attivismo civico, Christiana Figueres e Tom Rivett-Carnac, artefici dell'Accordo di Parigi del 2015, delineano le basi per salvare il pianeta e scegliere così il futuro che ci aspetta.
