A groundbreaking volume from the president and CEO of the Appalachian Mountain Club makes the profound argument that to preserve the environment, a revolution must take place in which every person becomes a champion for nature and the outdoors. In The Outdoor Citizen, John Judge coins the term "the outdoor citizen" delivering his remarkably persuasive argument that we must all become citizens of the natural world, owning and instilling in the next generation a keen interest in the outdoors and reconnecting with life's most essential foundation: nature.

In The Environmentalist’s Dilemma, award-winning journalist Arno Kopecky zeroes in on the core predicament of our times: The planet may be dying, but humanity’s doing better than ever. To acknowledge both sides of this paradox is to enter a realm of difficult decisions: Should we take down the government or try to change it from the inside? Is it okay to compare climate change to Hitler? Is hope naive or indispensable? How do you tackle collective delusion? Should we still have kids? And can we take them to Disneyland?

Die Neuerfindung der Weltpolitik. Das Zeitalter der kohlenstoffbasierten Energieerzeugung geht zu Ende. Eine vergleichbare Zäsur ist auch für das globale politische System zu erwarten. Menschen sind Gewohnheitstiere und stellen sich die Zukunft nur allzu gerne als eine Weiterführung der Gegenwart vor, das galt selbst nach so großen Umbrüchen wie dem Kollaps der Sowjetunion vor 30 Jahren. Und es gilt auch heute wieder, in Zeiten einer dreifachen Welterschütterung - der Pandemie, der galoppierenden Erderwärmung und der digitalen Revolution.

Our modern-day cities might seem to represent our separation from the natural world. In fact, as Ben Wilson reveals in this captivating re-examination of urban landscapes around the world, nature has always been at the heart of the city. Wilson explores the wild side of cities, past, present and future: the middens, abandoned sites and strips of land alongside railway lines.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is a wake-up call: The all-in stance in favor of renewables has rendered Europe's economy and national security vulnerable to Russian President Vladimir Putin. And America is in danger of making the same catastrophic energy mistake as Europe.

In "Unicornia Unveiled," readers are transported to a satirical realm where progressive ideals have been taken to their logical extreme. Through clever satire and thoughtful analysis, the author examines three critical issues facing Western society: the impact of DEI initiatives, the challenges facing men, and the orthodoxy surrounding climate change. Using the fictional land of Unicornia as a mirror to our own society, the book challenges readers to question prevailing narratives and consider the unintended consequences of well-intentioned policies. Drawing from personal experiences and ...

Do our children have a right to inherit a livable planet? Is the government obliged to protect it? Twenty-one young people from across America have sued the federal government over climate change, charging that actions promoting a fossil fuel economy violate their constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property. As the World Burns by investigative reporter Lee van der Voo follows the plight of the young plaintiffs, chronicling their legal battle as their childhoods are consumed by another year of drought and wildfire, floods and hurricanes, and tumultuous politics.

From the global impact of the coronavirus to exploring the vast spread of the Australian bush fires, join authors Ian Goldin and Robert Muggah as they trace the ways in which our world has changed and the ways in which it will continue to change over the next hundred years. Map-making is an ancient impulse. From the moment Homo sapiens learnt to communicate we have used them to make sense of our surroundings. But as Albert Einstein once said, ‘You can’t use old maps to explore a new world.’

Even if you're not an activist (yet), at a time when the news is written for clicks and elections are fought with three-word slogans, it's crucial to preserve some record of events that isn't 'fake news' or political spin. In part, this book is my attempt to counter the re-writing of how Australia achieved one of the most significant social changes in a generation. Sally Rugg is one of Australia's most influential campaigners for social change. How Powerful We Are is her manifesto for championing what you believe is right.

Can we human beings agree on a set of values which will allow us to confront the numerous threats that we and our planet face? Or will we continue our disagreements, rivalries, and antipathies, even as we collectively approach what, in the not impossible extreme, might be extinction? To answer these questions, A. C. Grayling considers the three most pressing challenges facing the world: climate change, technology, and justice.

In Climaturity, Marc Cortez advocates for a transparent climate discussion where half-truths are completed, climate science limitations are put into context, and politicians are held accountable for spending taxpayer dollars. Climaturity offers a new perspective on the climate controversy through the pragmatic lens of a long-time renewable energy industry veteran. Part science, part satire, and part snark, he takes a stand against the climate panic movement.

Der neueste Bericht des Weltklimarats hat es auf dramatische Weise bestätigt: Bereits heute bestimmt der Klimawandel unseren Alltag massiv. Und sein Einfluss wird schneller wachsen, als bislang angenommen. Nicht nur weltweit, auch in Deutschland häufen sich Phänomene wie extreme Hitze, lang anhaltende Dürre, Starkniederschläge mit Überschwemmungen. Und auch wir müssen uns die Frage stellen, wie sicher unsere Versorgung mit Trinkwasser ist.

Recycle. Fly less. Eat less meat. These are some of the ways that we’ve been told we can save the planet. But are individuals really to blame for the climate crisis? Seventy-one per cent of global emissions come from the same hundred companies, but fossil-fuel companies have taken no responsibility themselves. Instead, they have waged a thirty-year campaign to blame individuals for climate change. The result has been disastrous for our planet. In The New Climate War, renowned scientist Michael E. Mann argues that all is not lost.

Wie kommen wir aus der Klimakrise? Reicht die Energie von Sonne und Wind? Sind Elektroautos wirklich umweltfreundlich? Ist Wasserstoff der Heilsbringer? Was können wir selber tun, auch wenn es uns schwerfällt, unsere Lebensgewohnheiten zu ändern? Solche Fragen stellt man am besten Volker Quaschning, einem der weltweit führenden Experten für regenerative Energien. Mit seiner Frau Cornelia Quaschning erklärt er an konkreten Beispielen, wie der Umstieg auf eine nachhaltige Wirtschaft gelingen kann. Aber eines machen die beiden auch klar: Die Zeit wird knapp.

The environment is collapsing at a rapid rate, and in increasingly unpredictable ways. Everyone knows that this is happening, and yet the only politics that is emerging to tackle it are coming from the increasingly nativist far-right. How should the left respond? In Planet on Fire, two rising stars of the British left lay down a set of proposals for a fundamental re-shaping of the global economy and offer a road map for tackling climate breakdown.

Klima-Feedback-Loops sind sich selbst verstärkende Kreisläufe. Drehen sie sich zu lange, können wir sie selbst dann nicht mehr stoppen, wenn wir jede CO2-Emission einstellen. Dann machen sie diesen Planeten ganz von selbst unbewohnbar. Und einige dieser Loops drehen sich bereits... Greta Thunberg und der Dalai Lama zeigen in diesem auf einem Gespräch zwischen ihnen basierenden Buch mit Hilfe mehrerer international renommierter Wissenschaftler nicht nur die Gefahr, die von den Klima-Feedback-Loops ausgeht.
