La situation n'est pas désespérée. La solution est en nous. Ça y est, nous avons dépassé le stade critique. Le dernier rapport du GIEC atteste que la vie sur terre deviendra à terme insoutenable. La cause : le réchauffement climatique que nous avons-nous-mêmes enclenché. Nous savons que nous sommes en perdition et nous ne réagissons pas. Pourquoi ? Sans qu'on le sache, se joue depuis des millénaires dans notre cerveau une terrible bataille. D'un côté il y a le striatum, petite structure nerveuse qui génère du plaisir. De l'autre il y a le cortex préfrontal, organe destiné à contrôler nos pulsions.

Der Welt geht das Wasser aus: Können wir uns retten? Zwei Drittel der Erde sind mit Wasser bedeckt – allerdings nur drei Prozent davon sind Süßwasser. In vielen Regionen der Welt schrumpfen die Bestände rasant. Auch in Deutschland werden wir Wassernot erleben. In diesem Hörbuch begleiten Annika Joeres und Susanne Götze fiktive Protagonisten in eine nahe Zukunft und zeigen damit beispielhaft, wie wir leben können, wenn wir uns rechtzeitig auf die Folgen des Wassermangels einstellen – oder wie wir leiden werden, wenn wir nicht handeln.

In The Vanishing Ice, Iain Cameron chronicles these remarkable and little-seen relics of the Ice Age, describing how they have fascinated travelers and writers for hundreds of years and reflecting on the impact of climate change. Iain was nine years old when snow patches first captured his imagination, and they have been inextricably bound with his life ever since.

JUST $2.99 for a limited time, the #1 climate change bestseller (text includes the 'Climategate' update) Review Air Con demonstrates, with hundreds of scientific references, that global warming was not, is not, and will not be a global crisis; that, even if per impossibile it might be, it is far more cost-effective to adapt as and if needed than to attempt to mitigate 'global warming' by cutting emissions of carbon dioxide; and that all attempts at mitigation would serve only to imprison the very poorest in their poverty, thereby perversely increasing world population and consequently the '...

Seit mehr als einem halben Jahrhundert ist bekannt, dass sich die Menschheit durch Umweltzerstörung und die Aufheizung des Klimas der eigenen Lebensgrundlage beraubt. Zwar häufen sich inzwischen die internationalen Umwelt- und Klimakonferenzen, und auch die Politik und Wirtschaft geben Versprechen ohne Ende ab, geschehen ist aber bislang viel zu wenig. In seinem neuen Hörbuch wendet sich Mojib Latif den Fragen zu, warum die Menschheit weiter wider besseres Wissen an dem Ast sägt, auf dem sie sitzt, warum die Politik versagt und wenige Konzerne profitieren.

We here the Ice is receding, the level of the Seas is getting higher, the Northwest passage is open for the first time in hundreds of years. We must be headed for a thermal disaster and we are told man is behind it all. Wait just a minute!!! This doesn’t sound right. Satellites show the opposite.
