Acerca de esta escucha
We still have time to change the world. From Greta Thunberg, the world's leading climate activist, comes the essential handbook for making it happen.
You might think it's an impossible task: secure a safe future for life on Earth, at a scale and speed never seen, against all the odds. There is hope—but only if we listen to the science before it's too late.
In The Climate Book, Greta Thunberg has gathered the wisdom of over one hundred experts—geophysicists, oceanographers and meteorologists; engineers, economists and mathematicians; historians, philosophers and indigenous leaders—to equip us all with the knowledge we need to combat climate disaster. Alongside them, she shares her own stories of demonstrating and uncovering greenwashing around the world, revealing how much we have been kept in the dark. This is one of our biggest challenges, she shows, but also our greatest source of hope. Once we are given the full picture, how can we not act? And if a schoolchild's strike could ignite a global protest, what could we do collectively if we tried?
We are alive at the most decisive time in the history of humanity. Together, we can do the seemingly impossible. But it has to be us, and it has to be now.
* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF of climate charts and trends from throughout the book.

Of all the things humans rely on plants for - sustenance, beauty, medicine, fragrance, flavor, fiber - surely the most curious is our use of them to change consciousness: to stimulate or calm, fiddle with or completely alter, the qualities of our mental experience. Take coffee and tea: People around the world rely on caffeine to sharpen their minds. But we do not usually think of caffeine as a drug, or our daily use as an addiction, because it is legal and socially acceptable.

A Canadian climate scientist living in Texas, she negotiates distrust of data, indifference to imminent threats, and resistance to proposed solutions with ease. Over the past 15 years, Hayhoe has found that the most important thing we can do to address climate change is talk about it - and she wants to teach you how.

The world is waking up to a new reality: wildfires are now seasonal in California, the Northeast is getting less and less snow each winter, and the ice sheets in the Arctic and Antarctica are melting fast. Heat is the first order threat that drives all other impacts of the climate crisis. And as the temperature rises, it is revealing fault lines in our governments, our politics, our economy, and our values. The basic science is not complicated: Stop burning fossil fuels tomorrow, and the global temperature will stop rising tomorrow.

Historia
In This Changes Everything Naomi Klein argues that climate change isn’t just another issue to be neatly filed between taxes and health care. It’s an alarm that calls us to fix an economic system that is already failing us in many ways. Klein meticulously builds the case for how massively reducing our greenhouse emissions is our best chance to simultaneously reduce gaping inequalities, re-imagine our broken democracies, and rebuild our gutted local economies.

World renowned scientist Carl Sagan and acclaimed author Ann Druyan have written a Roots for the human species, a lucid and riveting account of how humans got to be the way we are. It shows with humor and drama that many of our key traits - self-awareness, technology, family ties, submission to authority, hatred for those a little different from ourselves, reason, and ethics - are rooted in the deep past, and illuminated by our kinship with other animals.

The Uninhabitable Earth is also an impassioned call to action.

In 2010, the words “earthquake swarm” entered the lexicon in Oklahoma. That same year, a trove of Michael Jackson memorabilia—including his iconic crystal-encrusted white glove—was sold at auction for over $1 million to a guy who was, officially, just the lowly forestry minister of the tiny nation of Equatorial Guinea. And in 2014, Ukrainian revolutionaries raided the palace of their ousted president and found a zoo of peacocks, gilded toilets, and a floating restaurant modeled after a Spanish galleon.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“A remarkable contribution to climate literature—and an urgent must-read.” —Los Angeles Review of Books
"The urgency to act now, to kick the addiction to fossil fuels, practically jumps off the page to punch you in the gut. So while not a pleasant read—it’s quite stressful—it’s a book I can’t recommend enough.” —Science News
“Impressively, in The Climate Book, Thunberg and team—which includes well-known names like Margaret Atwood, George Monbiot, Bill McKibben and Robin Wall Kimmerer—explain and offer action items in 84 compelling, bite-size chapters . . . The cumulative impact on my understanding of the crisis through [the book’s] data, cross-cultural reflections, and paths for step-by-step change became mesmerizing.” —NPR.org

Historia
An "epoch-defining book" (The Guardian) and "this generation’s Silent Spring" (The Washington Post), The Uninhabitable Earth is both a travelogue of the near future and a meditation on how that future will look to those living through it - the ways that warming promises to transform global politics, the meaning of technology and nature in the modern world, the sustainability of capitalism and the trajectory of human progress. The Uninhabitable Earth is also an impassioned call to action.

Historia
Michael Shellenberger has been fighting for a greener planet for decades. He helped save the world’s last unprotected redwoods. He co-created the predecessor to today’s Green New Deal. And he led a successful effort by climate scientists and activists to keep nuclear plants operating, preventing a spike of emissions. But in 2019, as some claimed "billions of people are going to die", contributing to rising anxiety, including among adolescents, Shellenberger decided that he needed to speak out to separate science from fiction.

This book explains seven of the most fundamental realities governing our survival and prosperity. From energy and food production, through our material world and its globalization, to risks, our environment and its future, How the World Really Works offers a much-needed reality check—because before we can tackle problems effectively, we must understand the facts.

Historia
The Light Eaters is a deep immersion into the drama of green life and the complexity of this wild and awe-inspiring world that challenges our very understanding of agency, consciousness, and intelligence. In looking closely, we see that plants, rather than imitate human intelligence, have perhaps formed a parallel system.

For those that come to this book full of misplaced anger and recent I say, read the book. Greta voices many of the complaints that you have of what is wrong with the way climate change is being handled and she is the harshest critic of the way politicians are shifting the blame for it and lying to the public.
For those already familiar with Greta's message it is a good reminder that the pressure on governments and the big polluters needs to be kept up, that things are currently not being handled in a way that will avert disaster. The governments are not "on top of this" and that we must make them be.
I recommend starting by reading the last chapter "What Next?" as it perfectly contains Greta's important message. That the climate crisis will not be solved by the consumer taking on a myriad of miniscule tasks to reduce their impact (even though they help). That what is needed is for governments to take significant meaningful steps towards reducing emissions. Governments need to immediately stop giving out taxpayers' money to high emitting industries, they need to stop exempting some emissions from the carbon bookkeeping, they need to better inform the public and governments need to be willing to accept that often short term economic gains in the coming years will result in multiplied inevitable losses in the coming decades.
This is a superb book. Perfect for everybody that wants to know what the situation really is. Filled with reports from dozens of top professionals and great insights from Greta that has an incredibly strong grounded view of what problems we are facing, of what will work, what will not work and what needs to be done. The whole book is very accessible and can be read either from back to back or by area of interest like a sort of cliffnotes volume of the climate crisis.
Ever striving to present the reader with the facts, the book is not designed to give the reader false hope. In fact it points out many of the false hopes being catered to the public in today's politics. But still it was not a depressing read, it felt more like being told by a friend "just how it really is" because only then can you decide what you want to do about it.

I believe the authors are right in stating larger legislative actions are required, but it seemed like they diminished those individuals impact which ultimately work towards winning legislative goals and are something each reader can action. I don’t disagree with individuals reading not being able to make a meaningful difference, but it seemed counterintuitive. The political aspects of climate change they highlighted were excellent.
For such an excellent book, I finished wishing it provided more examples of how past movements accomplished large environmental goals as it is much easier to comprehend how to become plant based, use renewable energy, and choose less polluting methods of transportation than it is to comprehend how to start a political movement to bring people together to help change government legislation to stop favoring fossil fuel corporations and prioritize alternatives that are better for society and our environment.

Overall, "The Climate Book" is an essential read for anyone who cares about the future of our planet. Thunberg's message is clear: we have the power to make a difference, but we must act now.
An amazing book!.
