Climate Science

Das fossile System bröckelt. Ein Klima ohne Krise ist in Reichweite. Was es jetzt braucht: dass wir endlich unsere Abhängigkeit von CO2 verlernen – und zwar in allen Bereichen unseres Lebens. Denn das Treibhausgas steckt nicht nur in Gasheizungen und den Tanks unserer Autos. Es hat sich fest in unseren Vorstellungen von einem guten Leben eingenistet und bestimmt unseren Alltag: was wir morgens anziehen, warum wir arbeiten und wie wir abends essen.

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?

"Our Choice gathers in one place all of the most effective solutions that are available now and that, together, will solve this crisis. It is meant to depoliticize the issue as much as possible and inspire readers to take action - not only on an individual basis but as participants in the political processes by which every country, and the world as a whole, makes the choice that now confronts us." (Al Gore, from the Introduction)

Saving the climate is our common duty.

I primi ad accorgersi che qualcosa è cambiato sono i commessi dei negozi: quel giorno stanno clamorosamente mancando gli obiettivi di vendita. Poche ore dopo i responsabili di zona mandano resoconti preoccupati ai loro capi. Il giorno successivo gli addetti ai magazzini dei maggiori siti di shopping online vedono i loro ritmi frenetici rallentare. Nel giro di pochi giorni il colore del cielo cambia con il calare delle emissioni di anidride carbonica. Il mondo ha smesso di comprare: non è l’inizio di un romanzo distopico; è l’unica cosa che può salvare noi e la Terra.

Dabei steht fest: Wir können nicht länger abwarten oder nur verhalten reagieren. Und wir können die Mammutaufgabe auch nicht allein an die Politik delegieren. Wir müssen alle mitmachen! Aber wie kann es gehen? Wie können wir Nachhaltigkeit und Wirtschaft sinnvoll zusammenbringen? In meinem Buch gebe ich Antworten auf viele der drängenden Fragen und beschreibe eine umsetzbare Vision für ein nachhaltiges Leben.

Глобальное изменение климата — самая серьезная и неотложная проблема из всех, с какими сталкивалось человечество за свою историю.

"Какое будущее мы выбираем" — страстный призыв к действию бывшего секретаря Рамочной конвенции ООН об изменении климата Кристианы Фигерес и ее соратника Тома Риветт-Карнака. Авторы убеждены: человечество еще может избежать худшего сценария и предотвратить катастрофические последствия климатических изменений, но действовать надо немедленно.
