À propos de cet audio
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
Historian, journalist, and author Gwynne Dyer interviews the world’s top 100 climate scientists to discuss the extraordinary measures we must contemplate to counter the irreversible effects of climate change.
The global climate emergency is now an alarming fact of life. Much as we still need to get emissions under control, many are thinking that it's all too little, too late. As scientists, politicians and concerned citizens scramble for solutions to the catastrophic effects of a warming world, is it time to be exploring the controversial topic of geoengineering?
For decades, discerning listeners have turned to journalist and historian Gwynne Dyer for his unparalleled acumen in serving up hard geopolitical truths. Intervention Earth is built around Dyer’s interviews with one hundred climate scientists from around the globe, including the leading figures in the geoengineering field. One of the most interesting topics: the pros and cons of Solar Radiation Management, a possible planetary Hail Mary that is rife with political risks.
But Intervention Earth is about more than technological mega-projects. Dyer devotes ample space to the many innovative ideas on offer, but there is no get-out-of-jail-free card. We will need a whole portfolio of techniques and technologies—and a lot of hard, thankless work—to keep the planet hospitable for humanity.
What’s more, many of the technologies that can help us avoid the worst outcomes require years of investment and development before they can be successfully deployed. Global cooperation will be key in implementing the life-saving strategies outlined in the book. With up-to-the-minute, breaking-news reporting Intervention Earth offers a probing, eye-opening look at the problems we face, and the innovations that just might keep us ahead of encroaching disaster and carry us to a safe harbour.

Histoire
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has punctured the longest stretch of peace between major powers since WWII, bringing the horrors of warfare—past, present, and future—to the forefront of listeners' minds. In The Shortest History of War, internationally acclaimed historian Gwynne Dyer adds urgently needed context. Dyer ably charts the evolution of violent conflict: tribal aggression, classical combat, limited war, total war, and cold war-followed by present-day terrorism, nuclear threats, and the development of lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS).

Histoire
The causes of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder range from severe neglect to monstrous abuse. Many survivors grew up in houses that were not homes-in families that were as loveless as orphanages and sometimes as dangerous. If you felt unwanted, unliked, rejected, hated, and/or despised for a lengthy portion of your childhood, trauma may be deeply engrained in your mind, soul, and body. This book is a practical guide to recovering from lingering childhood trauma. It is copiously illustrated with examples of the author's and his clients' journeys of recovering.

The Light Eaters is a deep immersion into the drama of green life and the complexity of this wild and awe-inspiring world that challenges our very understanding of agency, consciousness, and intelligence. In looking closely, we see that plants, rather than imitate human intelligence, have perhaps formed a parallel system.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“An eye-opening look at climate change…There are many strategies for us to encounter and grasp [in the book], but Dyer’s clear writing and informed voice keeps us sorted…. Dyer is perhaps best known as a military historian, with trenchant, expansive and accessible books about war and warfare…. A kind of guidebook… Dyer…remains hopeful.”—The Telegram (St. John’s)
“I really enjoyed Intervention Earth. It’s very well-informed, splendidly provocative (challenging many of my own preconceptions!), and Gwynne Dyer is an engaging companion in exploring the contested—even taboo—territory of geoengineering—and of Solar Radiation Management in particular. There’s no turning away from the reality of the crisis we’re in, with massively little techno-fixing hopium—but it does (just about!) leave the door open to a viable future for humankind. Which makes it a must-read for the rich debates to come!”—Jonathon Porritt, author of Hope in Hell: A decade to confront the climate emergency

Elegy of Humankind
An excellent and important book. I don't know why nobody is talking about this book or the technologies within. As someone who was not ignorant of the climate crisis and history, I was shocked by some of the data shared in this book. For example: half of the CO2 we've put into the atmosphere since the start of the industrial revolution has been since the 1990s, after we knew about global warming! If you want to know of possible solutions to the climate crisis then read this book. If you want to know where humankind is heading then read this book.
