El relat captivador de la vida a Buda, la primera illa d’Europa que desapareixerà engolida pel mar a conseqüència del canvi climàtic. Tan a prop i alhora tan lluny del nostre imaginari i de les nostres preocupacions. Fins que un dia, més aviat del que ens pensem, desapareixerà per sempre. Així és l’illa de Buda, una extensió de terra a la desembocadura de l’Ebre, a la punta del delta, que serà la primera illa d’Europa engolida pel mar.

A guardarli da lontano possono sembrare creature spaventose, con le loro zampette formicolanti, orride antenne e piccole ali ronzanti, che passano la loro esistenza guizzando e svolazzando tra la polvere e il buio. Eppure se solo si prova ad avvicinarsi, ecco che appaiono iridescenze arcobaleno, corpi color smeraldo e ali blu violaceo maculate di crema. Ecco che i loro movimenti si fanno ordinati e organizzati come quelli di un esercito, le loro strategie rivelano un acume geniale, la loro forza si mostra sorprendente.

COVID-19, monkeypox, bird flu, SARS, HIV, AIDS, Ebola; we are living in the Age of Pandemics – one that we have created.

Fevered Planet exposes how the way we farm, what we eat, the places we travel to and the scientific experiments we conduct create the perfect conditions for deadly new diseases to emerge and spread faster and further than ever.

At first, Erika Bolstad knew only one thing about her great-grandmother, Anna: she was a homesteader on the North Dakota prairies in the early 1900s before her husband committed her to an asylum under mysterious circumstances. As Erika's mother was dying, she revealed more: their family still owned the mineral rights to Anna's land—and oil companies were interested in the black gold beneath the prairies. Their family, Erika learned, could get rich thanks to the legacy of a woman nearly lost to history.

Capitalism Is Past Its Sell-By Date explores capitalism’s accomplishments, its challenges, and the most profound effect of its success—overconsumption that is challenging the Earth’s ecosystems and inhabitants. Included is a comprehensive review of capitalism, an exploration of the implications of the exhaustion of the Earth’s resources, and an examination of growth. This book aims neither to praise nor to condemn capitalism, but to describe its current and future states of play to create a more proactive and productive conversation around our shared global future.

De klimaforandringer, der længe har været forudsagt blandt verdens førende forskere på området, udvikler sig i dag hurtigere og endnu mere dramatisk, end det først blev stillet i udsigt. Så det er på tide at handle. Det mener også James Lovelock, der i 1970’erne fremsatte Gaia-teorien. I "Gaias forsvindende ansigt" kommer han med en sidste advarsel til Jordens befolkning. Planeten skal nok overleve, men hvis vi mennesker ønsker at være en del af dens fremtid, er vi nødt til at gøre noget nu. Den britiske forsker James Lovelock (f.

Will the world really end unless we spend billions on climate change policy? The people around us are somehow convinced that the world is about to end unless we stop using fossil fuels. There is no scientific evidence to support this.

"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.

Warum wir zynische Geldmacher, egomane Politiker und deren Lügen bekämpfen müssen. Die Welt steckt in der Endphase eines Kulturkampfs: Gier gegen Gerechtigkeit, Zerstörung gegen Nachhaltigkeit, Zynismus gegen Empathie. Nichts zeigt dies deutlicher als die Reaktionen auf die Klimakatastrophe: Hier jene, die versuchen, das Schlimmste zu verhindern, dort jene, die alles tun, um aus dem Verbrennen fossiler Stoffe Profit zu ziehen.

The starting point for In Deep Water: Spiritual Care for Young People in a Climate Crisis is not news: the world as we know it is shifting.

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.

Climate change is the biggest existential crisis that humankind has faced. In the last 100 years, we have ruined the carbon cycle using fossil fuels, namely coal, petroleum, and natural gas, to build our civilization, not taking into account the catastrophic impacts climate change can cause.
