The scale of the challenge is clear in the range of fields he covers, from glaciology and climate science to law and diplomacy. But in drawing these approaches together, he shares stories of hope, awe, and wonder that encourage us to confront this long-term, world-warping phenomenon with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.

On June 21, 2016, Pacific Gas & Electric Company announced a plan to shutter California’s last nuclear power plant, Diablo Canyon, in 2025. The plan was hailed by environmental groups and politicians around the country. Then, suddenly, the state’s Democratic establishment reversed the decision, and in 2024 the Biden-Harris administration awarded the plant $1.1 billion in credits to extend its life. What happened in between? In Atomic Dreams, journalist and lifelong environmentalist Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow unearths the surprising answers—and the deep-seated conflicts behind them.

Die Klimakrise ist da–und mit ihr vielfältige Auswirkungen auf unsere Gesundheit: Kreislaufprobleme, Dehydrierung, zu hohe UV-Belastung, Hitzewellen, die inzwischen auch in unseren Breiten Tote fordern, Infektionskrankheiten, allergische Reaktionen. Und immer mehr Menschen fühlen sich auch psychisch stark belastet. Was jeder Einzelne von uns dagegen tun kann, wie er körperliche und seelische Widerstandskraft, kurz Klimaresilienz, aufbaut, zeigt die renommierte Wissenschaftsjournalistin und Bestsellerautorin Christina Berndt.

Living Hot tells the blunt truth about our current climate change predicament: it's time to get cracking on making Australia resilient to intensifying climate extremes. If we prepare well, we can give ourselves a fighting chance to preserve some of the best of what we have, build stronger and fairer communities, find a path through the escalating pressures of a warming world – and even find new ways to flourish.

We have most of the technology we need to combat the climate crisis–and most people want to see more action. But after three decades of climate COPs, our global emissions are worse than ever. And we are accelerating into a Polycrisis of climate, food security, biodiversity, pollution, inequality and more. What, exactly, has been holding us back? What will it take for us to do better? In the search for answers that have been so elusive to date, Mike Berners-Lee looks at the challenge from new angles.

Notre monde est en pleine mutation, le climat change. Des espèces qui ont longtemps existé sur notre planète disparaissent et les ressources se raréfient. Les gens commencent à se rendre compte que le développement n'est pas toujours une bonne chose. Nous exploitons notre Terre, alors que nous devrions en prendre soin, car nous n'en avons qu'une. Lentement, cependant, un changement de mentalité s'opère, les gens essaient de revenir sur les erreurs du passé. On essaie de réduire les émissions de CO₂, de préserver les ressources de la Terre et de prendre davantage soin de la nature.

Il nostro mondo sta cambiando, il clima sta cambiando. Le specie che sono esistite a lungo sul nostro pianeta stanno scomparendo e le risorse stanno diventando scarse. Le persone si stanno lentamente rendendo conto che lo sviluppo non è sempre positivo. Stiamo sfruttando la nostra Terra, ma dovremmo prendercene cura, perché abbiamo solo questa. Lentamente, però, si sta verificando un ripensamento e le persone stanno cercando di rimediare agli errori del passato. Si sta cercando di ridurre le emissioni di CO₂, di conservare le risorse della Terra e di prestare maggiore attenzione alla natura.

Carbon is the only element that animates the entirety of the living world. Though comprising a tiny fraction of Earth’s composition, our planet is lifeless without it. Yet it is maligned as the driver of climate change, scorned as an errant element blamed for the possible demise of civilization. Here, Paul Hawken looks at the flow of life through the lens of carbon. Embracing a panoramic view of carbon’s omnipresence, he explores how this ubiquitous and essential element extends into every aperture of existence and shapes the entire fabric of life.

We are living through a period that is unique in human history. For the first time in more than ten thousand years, the rate of human population growth is slowing down. In the middle of this century population growth will stop, and the number of people on Earth will start to decline—fast. In this provocative book, award-winning science writer Henry Gee offers a concise, brilliantly told history of our species—and argues that we are on a rapid one-way trip to extinction.

Climate Action for Busy People is a hopeful and realistic roadmap for individuals and groups who want to boost climate preparedness and move the needle towards environmental justice. Drawing from her professional and personal success in climate adaptation and community organizing, Cate Mingoya-LaFortune begins with a brief history of why our communities look the way they do and how that affects how vulnerable we are to climate risks.

Threat Multiplier takes us onto the battlefield and inside the Pentagon to show how the US military is confronting the biggest security risk in global history: climate change. More than thirty years ago, Sherri Goodman became the Pentagon's first chief environmental officer. Indeed, for much of the twentieth century, the Department of Defense (DOD) was better known for containing the Soviet nuclear threat than protecting the environment.

The book is a seminal contribution from a leading futurist who, over the past three decades, has explored each of the most disruptive forces shaping our world today.

Our planet is on the precipice of dramatic ecological breakdown and climate despair is at an all-time high. But there are many communities who have survived beyond the environmental destruction wrought on them by colonialism – and they hold the solutions for climate repair.

This book examines the policies, beliefs and ideas that are shaping the response to the climate crisis. What it uncovers is both shocking and bizarre. Each chapter provides a wealth of information that brings a new perspective on the political response to global warming. It exposes a pyramid of fallacies, with each dependent on the others. The danger with fallacies is that they remain unchallenged. This book shines a light on theories and policies that appear to offer solutions to the climate crisis, yet, in reality, perpetuate the problems.
