Join Sophie Pavelle on a low-carbon journey around Britain in search of ten animals and habitats threatened by climate change in the 21st century. Like many of her generation, Sophie Pavelle is determined to demand action on climate change. In her hilarious and thought-provoking first audiobook, she describes the trips she took to see ten rare native species: species that could disappear by 2050 and be forgotten by the end of the century if their habitats continue to decline.

Durante l’epidemia, quando eravamo tutti chiusi nelle nostre case, e le macchine quasi non circolavano più, e molte fabbriche si sono dovute fermare, e abbiamo mangiato a casa, e non abbiamo gettato rifiuti per strada e nelle falde acquifere, il mondo quasi non assomigliava più a quello di prima. I fiumi, persino il Sarno, il più inquinato del Paese, sono tornati puliti, nei porti sono tornati i pesci, l’aria si è fatta più pulita anche nelle città più inquinate, dappertutto si è respirata un’aria nuova. Ma adesso cosa succede?

Der neueste Bericht des Weltklimarats hat es auf dramatische Weise bestätigt: Bereits heute bestimmt der Klimawandel unseren Alltag massiv. Und sein Einfluss wird schneller wachsen, als bislang angenommen. Nicht nur weltweit, auch in Deutschland häufen sich Phänomene wie extreme Hitze, lang anhaltende Dürre, Starkniederschläge mit Überschwemmungen. Und auch wir müssen uns die Frage stellen, wie sicher unsere Versorgung mit Trinkwasser ist.

More and more frequent extreme weather events occur each year, and wildlife everywhere is increasingly endangered. Science fiction or science fact, most climate experts see this as our world on climate change—and, according to polls, a majority of people around the globe agree. Climate Change for Dummies allows you to investigate this hottest of hotly debated issues for yourself—examining its causes, the way it affects our lives, and what we can all do to make a difference.

Take a walk through the climate regions of the world and discover the effect of climate change on plants and how plants are coping in changing climatic conditions. As extreme weather conditions take over our planet, what will be their effect on plants? How can plants cope with these changing conditions? Which plants already survive in extreme and changing environments?

Recent years have seen out-of-control wildfires rage across remote Brazilian rainforests, densely populated California coastlines, and major cities in Australia. What connects these separate events is more than immediate devastation and human loss of life. In Global Burning, Eve Darian-Smith contends that using fire as a symbolic and literal thread connecting different places around the world allows us to better understand the parallel, and related, trends of the growth of authoritarian politics and climate crises and their interconnected global consequences.

Weaving together findings from a wide range of disciplines, Power traces how four key elements developed to give humans extraordinary power: Tool making ability, language, social complexity, and the ability to harness energy sources - most significantly, fossil fuels. It asks whether we have, at this point, overpowered natural and social systems, and if we have, what we can do about it. Has Homo sapiens - one species among millions - become powerful enough to threaten a mass extinction and disrupt the Earth's climate?

In this brave and provocative work, former US Vice President Al Gore asserts that only a radical rethinking of our relationship with nature will save the Earth's ecology for future generations. Gore's analysis of where we've gone wrong ranges across politics, history, science, economics, psychology, and religion. He argues that only a worldwide mobilization can save us from disaster and presents a brilliant and comprehensive plan for action that encompasses not only the Earth's ecology, but also population trends, appropriate technology, and environmental education.

A Brief History of the Earth's Climate is an accessible, myth-busting guide to the natural evolution of the Earth's climate over 4.6 billion years, and how and why human-caused global warming and climate change is different and much more dangerous. It covers the major historical climate change processes, as well as recent human-induced climate change and the implications of the COVID pandemic for climate change. It is an essential listen for everyone who is looking to understand what drives climate change, counter skeptics and deniers, and take action on the climate emergency.

In this audiobook, you will find the history, science, and facts you need to prove that human-caused CO2 global warming is a fraud. It takes you from the discovery of infrared radiation in 1800 to our present-day’s understanding of climate and the latest discoveries in Cosmo-climatology being made by CERN Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. The audiobook explains the errors the early natural philosophers made when formulating the greenhouse effect. Have you ever wondered where the 59F/15C degrees of heat the greenhouse effect is supposed to provide the Earth came from?

I know you care about children. Whether you've got your own kids or you look after other people's, you have a deep love for these little humans. You want them to grow up in a world where people are basically kind to each other and kind to the planet. But when you look at the world now—a mental health crisis, a global pandemic, climate change, war—you worry about the possible future your child is facing and how they will cope.

Il nostro pianeta è in pericolo, ben presto gli effetti del riscaldamento globale saranno irreversibili. Come siamo arrivati a questo punto? Di chi è la colpa? Cosa possiamo fare per invertire la rotta? Unendo approfondite competenze scientifiche a un inimitabile talento di narratore, che lo ha reso celebre in tutto il mondo, Frank Schätzing risponde a queste domande partendo dall'analisi del concetto di clima e di catastrofe ambientale, perché la regola numero uno di ogni guerra è "conosci il tuo nemico".

The climate is the fundamental issue of our time, yet it seems we can barely agree on what is really going on, let alone what needs to be done. We urgently need facts. The Carbon Almanac is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between hundreds of writers, researchers, thinkers and leaders that focuses on what we know, what has come before and what might happen next. With thousands of data points, articles and charts explaining carbon's impact on everything in our society, it is the definitive source for facts and the basis for a global movement to fight climate change.

"Distopía" es un ensayo que analiza la sociedad del presente para conocer y entender las posibilidades del futuro de la humanidad. Un texto reflexivo que estudia los escenarios futuros a los que la sociedad podría enfrentarse durante el siglo XXI. El audiolibro es también una prospección distópica que sirve como alerta contra los peligros del cambio climático, la mala gestión de los residuos o la industrialización extrema a la que se dirige el mundo.

Der Klimawandel schreitet voran, die Gesellschaft ist tief gespalten und der Wirtschaft droht ein Kollaps verheerenden Ausmaßes. Der Komplexitätsforscher Stefan Thurner, Berater der österreichischen Bundesregierung bei der Bekämpfung der Corona-Krise, zeigt anhand der Wissenschaft Komplexer Systeme, wie zerbrechlich die Welt geworden ist und wie wir sie mit Hilfe von Wissenschaft und Big Data doch noch zur besten aller Zeiten machen können.

In this inspiring think piece and call to action, the founder and CEO of the global climate action movement 1 Million Women explains why the place for climate action is here, why the time is now and how women can work together to lead the way. As Natalie Isaacs says, this is the decisive decade for climate action and we have to make it count. We need to build a new world, starting immediately.

This award-winning book hopes to instill the passion and clarity for overcoming such a major problem. Author Dr. Samuel M. Goodman provides a tool to help you gain the understanding needed to advocate for a future free of this looming catastrophe in this thought-provoking work. Beyond Carbon Neutral speaks to everyone concerned about climate change.

The climate is the fundamental issue of our time, and now we face a critical decision. Whether to be optimistic or fatalistic, whether to profess skepticism or to take action. Yet it seems we can barely agree on what is really going on, let alone what needs to be done. We urgently need facts, not opinions. Insights, not statistics. And a shift from thinking about climate change as a “me” problem to a “we” problem. The Carbon Almanac is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration that focuses on what we know, what has come before, and what might happen next.

Maharashtra, India's richest state by GDP, has its eyes set on becoming the country's first trillion-dollar economy by 2025. At the same time, Marathwada -- a historically backward part of the state adjoining the distressed Vidarbha region -- has seen a surge in farmer suicides.

"Der Klimawandel ist da, aber er führt nicht in die Apokalypse. Und er ist nicht einmal unser größtes Problem!" In seinem aktuellen Bestseller "Apocalypse never" zeigt sich der bekannte und international angesehene Umweltaktivist Michael Shellenberger als leidenschaftlicher Verfechter einer rationalen Umweltpolitik und erteilt dem Öko-Alarmismus eine klare Absage. Er legt dar, wie die vermeintlich alarmierenden Daten sachlich zu interpretieren sind und was wirklich hinter der Klimahysterie steckt: nämlich finanzielle Interessen, Machtstreben und die Sehnsucht nach einer Ersatz-Religion.

Is global warming really happening? Is such a thing even possible? What does science say - and what about the Bible? And if it is happening, what should we do about it? In this thoughtful analysis, we take a look at the evidence presented by scientists and the scriptures, from the chemistry behind greenhouse gases to the biblical account of the creation of the Earth, to help listeners understand the differences between the two narratives and learn what the Bible really says about mankind’s responsibility to the Earth.

Professor of environmental engineering Daniel Cohan argues that escaping the gravest perils of climate change will first require American diplomacy, technological innovation, and policy to catalyze decarbonization globally. Combining his own expertise along with insights from more than a hundred interviews with diplomats, scholars, and clean-technology pioneers, Cohan identifies flaws in previous efforts to combat climate change.

Ob Landwirtschaft, Handel, Verkehr oder Urbanisierung: Seit es uns Menschen gibt, haben wir die Erde geprägt und verändert. Insbesondere seit der Industrialisierung hinterlassen wir einen unverwechselbaren und größtenteils unwiderruflichen Fingerabdruck auf der Erde. Inzwischen ist dieser Abdruck so stark, dass Wissenschaft, Politik und Gesellschaft diskutieren, ob sich die vom Menschen verursachten Veränderungen in geologischer Form niederschlagen und so langfristig sind, dass wir bereits in einem neuen Erdzeitalter leben – dem Anthropozän.

We are in the midst of an extinction event: the sixth mass extinction on Earth and one entirely caused by mankind. All species become extinct sooner or later, but we have accelerated that natural process several hundredfold, and now, it is happening right in front of our eyes. Extinction has a terrifying finality to it. And many species have already been lost to us forever; there is little we can do about that. What we can do, however, is reflect, remember, and ultimately acknowledge the unvarnished truth.

Atmospheric scientist Markus Rex recounts the monumental Arctic expedition he captained for one year in this gripping and authoritative book. A groundbreaking step toward understanding the climate crisis, the MOSAiC expedition was the first of its kind, journeying deep into the epicenter of climate change, the Arctic, to seek hard-to-find and potentially world-changing scientific data. The Greatest Polar Expedition of All Time is about the teamwork it takes to complete a risky goal, all in the name of understanding—and responding to—the climate crisis.

Die Neuerfindung der Weltpolitik. Das Zeitalter der kohlenstoffbasierten Energieerzeugung geht zu Ende. Eine vergleichbare Zäsur ist auch für das globale politische System zu erwarten. Menschen sind Gewohnheitstiere und stellen sich die Zukunft nur allzu gerne als eine Weiterführung der Gegenwart vor, das galt selbst nach so großen Umbrüchen wie dem Kollaps der Sowjetunion vor 30 Jahren. Und es gilt auch heute wieder, in Zeiten einer dreifachen Welterschütterung - der Pandemie, der galoppierenden Erderwärmung und der digitalen Revolution.

Gennem mere end 10 år har forfatteren Robert Zola Christensen rejst i hælene på den kendte danske klimaforsker Sebastian H. Mernild. Sammen har de to været på ekspedition til nogle af verdens mest fjerne egne for at dokumentere, hvad det forandrende klima gør ved vores klode. For der hersker ingen tvivl. Klimaet er under enorme forandringer. Der bliver målt stigende vandstande mange steder, det er blevet varmere, og isen smelter på polerne. Konsekvenserne er enorme.

Que el cambio climático es un hecho es algo que ahora solo unos pocos niegan. Los científicos se han puesto de acuerdo en que es un fenómeno inédito en la historia de la humanidad, con consecuencias en todos los aspectos que uno se pueda imaginar, desde la economía hasta la política nacional e internacional y la geografía.

A tremendous upheaval is coming this century: with every degree of temperature increase, roughly a billion people will be pushed outside the zone in which humans have lived for thousands of years. While we can and should do everything we can to mitigate the impact of climate change, the brutal truth is that huge swathes of the world are becoming uninhabitable. Mass migration will remake the world in the 21st century, either by accident, or design—and as Royal Society Science Prize-winning science journalist Gaia Vince shows us, far better the latter.

In einer vernetzten Welt müssen wir vernetzt denken und komplexe Phänomene wie Pandemien, Klimakrise und die Destabilisierung von Ökosystemen als Ganzes in den Blick nehmen. Der Komplexitätswissenschaftler Dirk Brockmann schaut auf die Krisen unserer Zeit, sucht nach Mustern, Gesetzmäßigkeiten und Ähnlichkeiten zwischen ihnen und komplexen Prozessen der Natur.
