Climate Change

A Very Short Introduction

De: Mark Maslin

Narrado por: Gareth Richards

In the last few years global awareness of climate change has grown very rapidly - through the school strikes led by Greta Thunberg, groups like Extinction Rebellion, the IPCC's recent high-impact reports, TV documentaries, and declarations from governments around the world that we are in a climate emergency. This awareness is continuing to grow, as the science shows us that our planet and our species are facing a massive crisis that we ourselves have caused. Climate change is one of the few scientific theories that make us examine the whole basis of modern society. It is a challenge that has politicians arguing, sets nations against each other, queries individual lifestyle choices, and ultimately asks questions about humanity's relationship with the rest of the planet.

This Very Short Introduction audiobooks draws on the very latest science from the 2021 IPCC Report, examining the evidence that climate change is already happening and discussing its potential catastrophic impacts in the future. Mark Maslin also explores the geopolitics of climate change and the win-win solutions we can employ to avoid the very worst effects of climate change. Throughout, he demonstrates how we must develop new modes of thinking for the 21st century at individual, corporate, and government levels to collectively tackle the challenge of climate change.

Abounds with information

This book has an incredible amount of information about the most important topic of our time crammed into a very short and readable book.

Neat

If you want a concise summary of climate change, you are in the right place.

Ehh

Tolerable outline of climate change, more concerned with the moral and cultural significance than the actual geophysical process. Hoity-toity bourgeoisie reader sucks badly. "Naught-point-naught-naught-four".
