Mit kühlem Kopf durch heiße Zeiten! Während die Temperaturen im Sommer immer weiter in die Höhe schießen, müssen wir uns diesen Winter verdammt warm anziehen. Eine Situation, in die wir uns durch viele falsche Entscheidungen in der Vergangenheit selbst gebracht haben. Wussten Sie, dass in Finnland die Grünen auf Kernenergie setzen? Und dass, würden wir ganz auf Wind und Sonne setzen, in einer windstillen Nacht schon nach 40 Minuten unsere Energiespeicher leer sind? Aber was erwartet man von einer Nation, die schon mit dem Bau eines Flughafens überfordert ist.

An intersectional primer for saving the planet: place-based perspectives and community-led tools for fighting climate change For readers of The Intersectional Environmentalist and All We Can Save In Climate Resilience, climate justice and resilience strategist Kylie Flanagan invites us to see...

In 1996, the first independent national report on the state of Australia’s environment found that we faced serious problems. With increasing urgency, five subsequent reports declared those problems were all getting worse, each calling for immediate action to protect our future. In Australia on the Brink, Ian Lowe argues that the essential first steps in addressing these threats are stabilizing the global climate and protecting our local biota. We must also change the emphasis of resource extraction from a damaging reliance on trade to improving our capacity to meet our own needs.

The natural world is burning. Time is running out. You know the story. So what possible role could something as flimsy as fiction play? From the pioneering pen of a continually visionary writer, Burning Snowflake is a rallying cry. Shrug off restrictions. Imagine radically. See fiction for what...

The science on climate change has been clear for a very long time now. Yet despite decades of appeals, mass street protests, petition campaigns, and peaceful demonstrations, we are still facing a booming fossil fuel industry, rising seas, rising emission levels, and a rising temperature. With the stakes so high, why haven't we moved beyond peaceful protest? In this lyrical manifesto, noted climate scholar (and saboteur of SUV tires and coal mines) Andreas Malm makes an impassioned call for the climate movement to escalate its tactics in the face of ecological collapse.

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.

Irreversible: What Can We Do? provides a clear, evidence-based examination of climate change, global warming, and the challenges they present. Drawing on extensive experience in engineering and energy systems, the authors explain the science behind rising global temperatures, sea level change, and other environmental impacts using current data and scientific analysis.

Der Energiesektor steckt inmitten einer industriellen Revolution. So wie die Dampfmaschine die Pferdekraft verdrängt hat, das Auto die Kutsche oder das Smartphone das Handy, stellen heute erneuerbare Energien, Batteriespeicher und Elektroautos weltweit die Märkte auf den Kopf. Aber warum findet diese Revolution statt – und wird sie erfolgreich sein?

La nostra economia è costruita secondo un modello "lineare": preleviamo risorse naturali dall'ambiente e le restituiamo sotto forma di residui che procurano danni all'ecosistema. È un destino inevitabile, un prezzo necessario da pagare al progresso? Lo abbiamo creduto a lungo, ma ora la natura ci presenta il conto.

En este libro tan necesario y riguroso, Bill Gates expone un plan amplio, funcional y, sobre todo, asequible, para reducir a cero las emisiones de los gases causantes del efecto invernadero y evitar a tiempo una catástrofe medioambiental.

Are you worried about the effects of climate change on our environment? Want to help but don't know where to start? Environmental activist Natalie Fee's new handbook to green living will help you to make small lifestyle changes that will make a big difference to our planet. 

Un sincero y revelador análisis de las posibilidades energéticas de nuestro futuro. Así pues, este libro aborda temas tan importantes como la improbable y difícil tarea de descarbonizar el planeta, en parte por la estrecha relación entre la producción de alimentos y los combustibles fósiles, pero también destapa realidades incómodas, como la dependencia de las economías modernas respecto de la alta producción de amoníaco, metal, cemento y plástico.

This "truly essential" audiobook will transform how you see our biggest environmental problems (Margaret Atwood)—and explains how we can solve them. It’s become common to tell kids that they’re going to die from climate change. We are constantly bombarded by doomsday headlines that tell us...

Ecological footprint accounting, first introduced in the 1990s and continuously developed, continues to be the only metric that compares overall human demand on nature with what our planet can renew—its biocapacity—and distills this into one number: how many Earths we use.

From a young, award-winning scientist, a “thoughtful and illuminating” (Nature) look at one of the most compelling and historic turning points of our time—the race to harness the power of the stars and produce controlled fusion, creating a practically unlimited supply of clean energy. The...

Jean McNeil spent a year as writer-in-residence with the British Antarctic Survey, and four months on the world’s most enigmatic continent. Ice Diaries is the story of McNeil’s years spent in ice, not only in the Antarctic but her subsequent travels to Greenland, Iceland, and Svalbard, culminating in a strange event in Cape Town, South Africa, where she journeyed to make what was to be her final trip to the southernmost continent. In the spirit of the diaries of Antarctic explorers, McNeil mixes travelogue, popular science, and memoir to examine the history of our fascination with ice.

Climate catastrophe-inspired narratives like “Electrify Everything!” have a grip on people’s minds. The simplicity of the solution to the most complex endeavor ever faced by humans—the journey to a net zero future—is seductive, but it is fundamentally flawed. In Path to Zero: 12 Climate Conversations That Changed the World, author Tucker Perkins takes listeners on a series of future-casting journeys from the Year 2050 back to the present day to show us how a better way—a wide path to net zero carbon emissions—was, and can be, achieved in an accelerated time frame.
