Global Climate Change

They say ignorance is bliss, but is it really? Just because you’re unaware of the impact something has doesn’t mean there isn’t one. My goal with this book isn’t to convince anyone to go plant-based or to push a specific agenda. Instead, I want to share the information that often goes unnoticed—the facts most people don’t know. By shedding light on these truths, I hope to empower you to make choices based on knowledge rather than ignorance.

All of Earth’s oceans, from the equator to the poles, are a single engine powered by sunlight, driving huge flows of energy, water, life, and raw materials. In The Blue Machine, physicist and oceanographer Helen Czerski illustrates the mechanisms behind this defining feature of our planet, voyaging from the depths of the ocean floor to tropical coral reefs, estuaries that feed into shallow coastal seas, and Arctic ice floes. Timely, elegant, and passionately argued, The Blue Machine presents a fresh perspective on what it means to be a citizen of an ocean planet.

From Dr. Tim Flannery, one of the world's foremost experts on conservation and ecology, comes a book of immeasurable importance. Hailed by Kirkus Reviews as a "powerful and persuasive" work that is "sure to provoke strong reaction", The Weather Makers is among the finest examinations of climate change ever written.

Seeking to decarbonize rapidly, the United States rushed to abandon fossil fuels with predictable consequences. In the near future, energy is scarce, and the economy has been decimated. China is now the world's only superpower. Aged climate skeptics confirm that the climate science used to justify Net Zero was a deliberate overreach. They risk their lives to share their insights.

Why do the UN and certain politicians in the US and Western Europe continue to promote the fraudulent global warming hypothesis? With regards to the UN, it is all about the money—money for research and to affect socio-economic change. For many politicians, it is all about the power—the power to control the lives of the electorate. Power is the ultimate narcotic.

There is still so much we can do to reduce the amount of carbon emissions in the air, both as individuals and on a more grand scale with the help of governments and other influential organizations around the world. This book will provide you with simple things that we can do as individuals to tackle an overwhelming problem.

Drought-hit regions bleeding those who for whom a rural life has become untenable. Coastlines diminishing year on year. Wildfires and hurricanes leaving widening swaths of destruction. The culprit, most of us accept, is climate change, but not enough of us are confronting one of its biggest, and most present, consequences: a total reshaping of the earth’s human geography. As Gaia Vince points out early in Nomad Century, global migration has doubled in the past decade, on track to see literal billions displaced in the coming decades.

In the past two decades, our understanding of the navigational and physiological feats that enable birds to cross immense oceans, fly above the highest mountains, or remain in unbroken flight for months at a stretch has exploded. What we've learned of these key migrations is nothing short of extraordinary. This breathtaking work of nature writing also introduces listeners to those scientists, researchers, and bird lovers trying to preserve global migratory patterns in the face of climate change and other environmental challenges.

Lost in a sea of information about climate change and global warming? Let's dive in and explore the significance of this massive issue. You can't get away from it on the news, the flood of climate change information is like a barrage. How are you supposed to make sense of it all? You know about the conferences on global warming, and you are still concerned about the political actions needed to impact global warming, but struggling to understand what that change actually looks like?

Michael Shellenberger has been fighting for a greener planet for decades. He helped save the world’s last unprotected redwoods. He co-created the predecessor to today’s Green New Deal. And he led a successful effort by climate scientists and activists to keep nuclear plants operating, preventing a spike of emissions. But in 2019, as some claimed "billions of people are going to die", contributing to rising anxiety, including among adolescents, Shellenberger decided that he needed to speak out to separate science from fiction.

The Pentagon, unsentimental and politically conservative, might not seem likely to be worried about climate change - still linked, for many people, with polar bears and coral reefs. Yet, of all the major institutions in American society, none take climate change as seriously as the US military.
