Was man wirklich über Klima-Kipppunkte wissen muss. Überschwemmungen, Hitzewellen, Dürren, Waldbrände – die Auswirkungen des immer extremeren Wetters sind auch hierzulande zunehmend spürbar. Aber all das ist erst der Anfang: Weil das 1,5-Grad-Limit nicht mehr zu halten ist und die Erderhitzung fortschreitet, drohen in naher Zukunft im Klimasystem mehrere sogenannte Kipppunkte überschritten zu werden. Die Folgen wären einschneidend, auch für Deutschland. Benjamin von Brackel und Toralf Staud liefern, was man über Kipppunkte wirklich wissen muss.

In Climate Justice, a bracing challenge to status-quo thinking on the ethics of climate change, renowned author and legal scholar Cass Sunstein clearly frames what’s at stake and lays out the moral imperative: When it comes to climate change, everyone must be counted equally, regardless of when they live or where they live.

In Human Nature, each chapter uses a different emotion to illustrate the science behind our changing climate. We feel the wonder of being able to use climate models to predict the future.

With Marvel as our guide, we get to feel it all—and we can begin to turn our strong feelings into strong action.

Academics, students, and activists from a wide array of disciplines will find A Taste for Change a dialogue worthy of careful consideration and an inspiring call to action.

In 2011, a wolf named Slavc left his home territory of Slovenia for a wide-ranging journey across the Alps. Tracked by a GPS collar, he traveled over 1,200 miles, where he would mate with a female wolf on a walkabout of her own—the only two wolves for hundreds of square miles—and start the first pack to call the Italian Alps home in more than a century. A decade later and there are more than a hundred wolves in the area, the result of their remarkable meeting.
