Climate Science

Climate change is the greatest challenge our society faces. Still, our policymakers continue to put off effective action. We direly need a reliable, socially just concept as all encompassing as the problem itself to meet global warming and our planet's limits head on. The non-profit organization for sustainable economy SaveClimate.Earth proposes introducing a new climate currency, the ECO (Earth Carbon Obligation), that puts a separate emissions price tag on all products and services, finally providing consumers with a realistic, transparent climate price.

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.

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.

Climate change is the world’s biggest problem. It affects every human being on Earth, and it’s going to fundamentally alter every human institution and way of life, from business and economics to politics to spirituality, religion, culture, and identity. But, as big as it is, climate change is not “the end of history.” In fact, it’s just the beginning of a new phase of the history of humanity, one that presents opportunities as well as challenges. Being ready to ride this wave of change is the true calling of our times.

Zu lange haben wir Menschen eine dem Wesen unserer Existenz widersprechende Zivilisation und Infrastruktur aufgebaut, warnt der weltweit führende Ökonom und Vordenker Jeremy Rifkin. Denn jetzt rebelliert die Hydrosphäre unseres Planeten und ist dabei, unsere Spezies und unsere Mitgeschöpfe im Zuge des Klimawandels in ein Massensterben zu stürzen, während sie nach einem neuen Gleichgewicht sucht. Rifkin fordert uns auf, unseren Platz im Universum ganz neu zu definieren.

Der Klimawandel zählt zu den größten Herausforderungen, die wir derzeit als Gesellschaft zu bewältigen haben. Doch die bisherigen Maßnahmen der Politik reichen nicht aus. Deshalb braucht es ein zuverlässiges und gerechtes Konzept, um der Erderwärmung und den Grenzen unseres Planeten in derselben Größenordnung wie dem Problem selbst zu begegnen.

Il comportamento dissennato degli umani ha portato alla loro autodistruzione. Ma il pianeta e le altre creature viventi sembrano vivere un periodo rigoglioso. L’estinzione riguarda quindi solo gli uomini che non si riproducono più. Può esserci ancora una speranza di rinascita? E, soprattutto, chi sopravvive capirà e saprà cambiare? Questo racconto ci conduce in un percorso che apre quegli orizzonti e quelle sensibilità che solo se si praticheranno potranno condurci a ripensare ai nostri egoistici stili di vita. Pena la nostra stessa fine.

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.

In a world of mass consumption and busy schedules, taking the time to understand our own trash habits can be daunting. In Trash Talk, the ever-curious and talented Iris Gottlieb pulls back the curtain on the intricacies of the global trash production system and its contribution to climate change. From the history of the mafia’s rule of the New York sanitation system to orbital debris (space trash) to the myth of recycling, Gottlieb will help listeners see trash in a whole new way.

Eco-anxiety. Climate guilt. Pre-traumatic stress disorder. Solastalgia. The study of environmental emotions and related mental health impacts is a rapidly growing field, but most researchers overlook a closely related concern: reproductive anxiety. Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question is the first comprehensive study of how environmental emotions influence whether, when, and why people today decide to become parents—or not.

Penetrating our hearts and minds, climate grief is not an ailment we have to heal from but a call to change the trajectory of our shared future. The universality, urgency, and inescapable scope of climate change leads to a depth of grief we are not prepared to cope with, and a grief that is still largely unknown and ignored. Climate change and climate grief are inseparable, and coping with the emotional fallout of the climate crisis is our first step toward dealing with the crisis itself and to building resilience.

In a world where hunger persists amid abundance and climate change threatens our very existence, Shannon Dobbs presents a groundbreaking solution to our broken food system. This isn't just another book about the problem—it's a comprehensive guide to fixing it. Dobbs, an Army veteran turned food system innovator, unveils the revolutionary Nexus and Nodes model. This scalable approach bridges the gap between food waste and food insecurity, turning challenges into opportunities for community empowerment and environmental healing.

From mavericks to party standard-bearers, United States Senators, members of the House of Representatives, and presidential candidates have campaigned for four decades espousing their intentions to address the impacts of climate change.

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.

Almost daily, scientists are sounding dire warnings about the effects of climate change. Our young will bear an unprecedented burden. They are eager to discover what can be done, as time slips away. But few of them - or us - are aware that global warming is but one facet of a looming planetary catastrophe.

As climate change continues to intensify, the outlook for life on Earth often seems bleak. Yet hope for the future can be found in the “rescue effect,” which is nature’s innate ability to help organisms persist during hard times. Like a thermostat starting the air conditioning when a room gets too warm, the rescue effect automatically kicks in when organisms are stressed or declining. In The Rescue Effect, Michael Mehta Webster reveals the science behind nature’s inherent resilience, through compelling stories of species that are adapting to the changing world.

Seit mehr als einem halben Jahrhundert ist bekannt, dass sich die Menschheit durch Umweltzerstörung und die Aufheizung des Klimas der eigenen Lebensgrundlage beraubt. Zwar häufen sich inzwischen die internationalen Umwelt- und Klimakonferenzen, und auch die Politik und Wirtschaft geben Versprechen ohne Ende ab, geschehen ist aber bislang viel zu wenig. In seinem neuen Hörbuch wendet sich Mojib Latif den Fragen zu, warum die Menschheit weiter wider besseres Wissen an dem Ast sägt, auf dem sie sitzt, warum die Politik versagt und wenige Konzerne profitieren.
