Climate Science

Earth is nearly 70 percent water. Most of this water is frozen in the form of glaciers. As our planet warms, glaciers are melting faster than usual. Sea levels rise, and water washes over coastal areas. Homes are destroyed. Habitats are lost.

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.

Whether you are flogging tobacco, dealing in oil, pushing pharmaceuticals, denying climate change, or exploiting workers, The Playbook is here to help you obfuscate your way to what you want.

Averting Catastrophe explores how governments ought to make decisions in times of imminent disaster. Cass R. Sunstein argues that using the "maximin rule", which calls for choosing the approach that eliminates the worst of the worst-case scenarios, may be necessary when public officials lack important information and when the worst-case scenario is too disastrous to contemplate. He underscores this argument by emphasizing the reality of "Knightian uncertainty", found in circumstances in which it is not possible to assign probabilities to various outcomes.

This audiobook explains based on science and facts how you can be the solution to the big crises we will face to cover our basic needs (food, water, health). It’s just a question of time before the next economic crisis. In the coming years, we will all directly suffer from climate change in one way or another including our kids and grandkids. The rich get richer, banks steal from us, while so many don’t even have decent food or health care.... There is an alternative system in which you can lead toward a solution to these crises.

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.

Die Meldungen über Auswirkungen der Erderwärmung treiben mich um. Schlechte Nachrichten und Zukunftsangst bestimmen das Leben von vielen. 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.

The Pitchfork Ranch is more than another dusty homestead tucked away in a corner of the Southwest. It is a place with a story to tell about the most pressing crisis to confront humankind. It is a place where one couple is working every day to right decades of wrongs. It is a place of inspiration and promise. It is an invitation to join the struggle for a better planet. Restoring the Pitchfork Ranch tells the story of a decades-long habitat restoration project in southwestern New Mexico.

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. Doch einmal groß, stechen sie jede Rakete aus und können sich als einzige Vögel sogar rückwärts fortbewegen. Kolibris wurden schon immer als Wunderwesen verehrt, und doch sind diese zarten Geschöpfe in der heutigen Umgebung in Gefahr. Sie zu retten ist eine hohe Kunst.

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.

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.

Chocolate is the center of a massive global industry worth billions of dollars annually, yet its future in our modern world is currently under threat. In Chocolate Crisis, Dale Walters discusses the problems posed by plant diseases, pests, and climate change, looking at what these mean for the survival of the cacao tree. Walters takes listeners to the origins of the cacao tree in the Amazon basin of South America, describing how ancient cultures used the beans produced by the plant, and follows the rise of chocolate as an international commodity over many centuries.

Our current path leads to a dead end—but it’s not too late to change course. The first step toward reducing your carbon footprint starts here.

In 2019, climate activist Charlie Hertzog Young attempted suicide, following a succession of breakdowns. He jumped off a building, resulting in the loss of both legs. He spent a month in a coma, lost his flat and woke up without a job. In rebuilding his life physically and emotionally, Charlie saw that the climate crisis and mental illness are inextricably linked and, equally, little understood. In this reflective account of his own recovery, he explores how his bipolarity was largely driven by climate change and identifies the ways in which our culture has led to the current crisis.

In this thought-provoking exploration of climate change, the authors delve into the complex interactions that shape our planet’s climate. As listeners, you embark on a journey to understand the intricate dynamics at play. Let’s dive into the facts, dispel myths, and encourage critical thinking.

Climate Church, Climate World argues that climate change is the greatest moral challenge humanity has ever faced. Hunger, refugees, poverty, inequality, deadly viruses, war - climate change multiplies all forms of global social injustice. Environmental leader Reverend Jim Antal presents a compelling case that it's time for the church to meet this moral challenge, just as the church addressed previous moral challenges. Antal calls for the church to embrace a new vocation so future generations might live in harmony with God's creation.

The Paris Accords, widely accepted as the key to solving today's climate crisis, set a goal of zero net carbon emissions by 2050. But that's not good enough. The only way to guarantee a livable future is climate restoration, which can reduce greenhouse gases to historic levels. Scientist and entrepreneur Peter Fiekowsky explains the technology and maps a practical path that will let humankind survive and thrive.
