The Global Environmental Catastrophe Has Begun!
Huge forest and bush fires, gigantic downpours, dying forests, floods, drought disasters, and tornadoes – almost daily reports of disasters in newspapers and on news tickers. A number of irreversible processes of destruction and self-destruction in nature are unfolding and calling survival into question in more and more regions. These processes make it clear that the global environmental catastrophe has begun! Mainly responsible for this development are the international supermonopolies which, in their pursuit of maximum profit, ruthlessly and against better knowledge brush aside the urgently necessary environmental protection and acutely required emergency measures. All those who do not w...
Climate Change 2021 – The Physical Science Basis
The Working Group I contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provides a comprehensive assessment of the physical science basis of climate change. It considers in situ and remote observations; paleoclimate information; understanding of climate drivers and physical, chemical, and biological processes and feedbacks; global and regional climate modelling; advances in methods of analyses; and insights from climate services. It assesses the current state of the climate; human influence on climate in all regions; future climate change including sea level rise; global warming effects including extremes; climate information for risk assessment and regional adaptation; limiting climate change by reaching net zero carbon dioxide emissions and reducing other greenhouse gas emissions; and benefits for air quality. The report serves policymakers, decision makers, stakeholders, and all interested parties with the latest policy-relevant information on climate change. Available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
What’s the Worst That Could Happen?
Why catastrophic risks are more dangerous than you think, and how populism makes them worse. Did you know that you’re more likely to die from a catastrophe than in a car crash? The odds that a typical US resident will die from a catastrophic event—for example, nuclear war, bioterrorism, or out-of-control artificial intelligence—have been estimated at 1 in 6. That’s fifteen times more likely than a fatal car crash and thirty-one times more likely than being murdered. In What’s the Worst That Could Happen?, Andrew Leigh looks at catastrophic risks and how to mitigate them, arguing provocatively that the rise of populist politics makes catastrophe more likely. Leigh explains that perv...
Energy Transition and Geoeconomic Fragmentation
The transition to a low-carbon economy, which is needed to mitigate climate change and meet the Paris Agreement temperature goals, has been affected by the supply chain and energy supply disruptions that originated during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the subsequent energy crisis and exacerbation of geopolitical tensions. These developments, and the broader context of the ongoing “polycrisis,” can affect future decarbonization scenarios. This reflects three main factors: (1) pullbacks in climate mitigation policies and increased carbon lock-in in fossil fuel infrastructure and policymaking; (2) the decreasing likelihood of continuous cost reduction in renewa...
¡La catástrofe ecológica global ha comenzado!
Enormes incendios forestales y de matorrales, aguaceros gigantescos, bosques moribundos , inundaciones, catástrofes por sequías y tornados: noticias de catástrofes casi diarias en periódicos y tickers de noticias. Una serie de procesos irreversibles de destrucción y autodestrucción se están desarrollando en la naturaleza, poniendo en cuestión la supervivencia en cada vez más regiones. Estos procesos lo dejan claro: ¡la catástrofe ecológica global ha comenzado! Los responsables principales de este desarrollo son los supermonopolios internacionales, quienes en su caza por la ganancia máxima, sin piedad y a pesar de saberlo mejor, pasan por alto la necesidad urgente de protección ...
A Heated Debate
Ever since climate change has been identified as one of the most significant challenges of humanity, climate change deniers have repeatedly tried to discredit the work of scientists. To show how these processes work, Maria M. Sojka examines three ideals about how science should operate. These ideals concern the understanding of uncertainties, the relationship between models and data, and the role of values in science. Their widespread presence in the public understanding of science makes it easy for political and industrial stakeholders to undermine inconvenient research. To address this issue, Sojka analyses the importance of tacit knowledge in scientific practice and the question of what defines an expert.
The Climate Book
*A Times, Financial Times, Observer and Nature Book of the Year* ‘Spectacular ... this work is planetary in scale’ Independent ‘It offers real, rich hope’ Observer, Books of the Year We still have time to change the world. From the world's leading climate activist, this is the essential book for making it happen. Created by Greta Thunberg in partnership with over 100 climate experts working around the globe, with her commentaries throughout and updates for this new paperback edition to reflect the latest research, The Climate Book equips us with knowledge, and gives us hope. Together, it shows, we can do the seemingly impossible. But it has to be us, and it has to be now.
Isfritt
Hva gjør forskere når de er ute i felten, hvordan måler de hvor tykk isen er på Grønland og hva har måkefanging å gjøre med klimaforskning? Her finner du 37 tekster som forteller om nordområdene og om hvordan man kommer frem til ny kunnskap om jorden og naturen. Naturvitenskapelig formidling finner vi i alle medier, og her har vi valgt ut noe av det beste som er skrevet i de siste par årene. Alle tekstene belyser temaet isfritt og viser at klimaforskning kan være mangfoldig og spennende. Seks av bidragene er nyskrevne, de andre er plukket fra aviser, magasiner og blogger for å vise bredden av det som formidles i Norge i dag. La våre forskere, studenter, journalister og forfatter...
Verden på vippepunktet
For 70 000 år siden fantes det en art, bestående av spredte bestander på noen hundre individer, som stort sett levde fredelig i et hjørne av Afrika. I dag teller arten 9 milliarder, og er i ferd med å forandre planeten fundamentalt. Arten det er snakk om er oss. Det vi gjør mot jorda registreres på en geologisk tidsskala, over hundretusenvis av år. Så omfattende er utslippene av klimagasser og reduksjonen av naturmangfoldet vi har stått for i løpet av et ørlite øyeblikk i klodens lange historie. Dag O. Hessen tar derfor bladet fra munnen. Med utgangspunkt i forskning, ikke skremselspropaganda, viser han hvordan det står til med natur og klima – og hvor ille det kan gå. Det s...
Het Klimaatboek
Het Klimaatboek toont glashelder hoe de vele crises op onze planeet met elkaar samenhangen en vertelt de onverbloemde waarheid over hoe en waarom onze wereld verandert. Greta Thunberg vroeg meer dan honderd vooraanstaande wetenschappers, leiders, activisten en publicisten om hun kennis met ons te delen. Van smeltende ijskappen tot inheemse soevereiniteit, van fast fashion tot de toekomst van onze voedselvoorziening en de bredere duurzaamheidscrisis: hun bevindingen zijn verwoord in overtuigende bijdragen over verandering, actie en veerkracht. Daarnaast deelt Greta haar eigen verhalen over haar leerproces – de protestacties en het blootleggen van greenwashing – en onthult ze hoezeer we in het ongewisse zijn gelaten. Dat is een van onze grootste problemen, zo laat ze zien, maar ook onze belangrijkste bron van hoop. Alleen als we al deze zaken met elkaar verbinden, kunnen we duurzame oplossingen vinden. En zodra iedereen het hele plaatje kent, kunnen we in actie komen.
