Climate Future

El cambio climático es el problema más acuciante al que nos hemos enfrentado jamás. La forma en que lo abordemos en los próximos treinta años determinará absolutamente el mundo en el que viviremos y el legado que dejaremos a las futuras generaciones. En este libro, Christiana Figueres y Tom Rivett-Carnac - los artífices del histórico Acuerdo de París - nos dibujan dos posibles escenarios y nos advierten de las catastróficas consecuencias de no hacer nada.

Once a distant forecast, climate change is now reaching into the familiar, threatening our basic safety and forcing us to reexamine who we are and how we live. In At Home on an Unruly Planet, science journalist Madeline Ostrander reflects on this crisis not as an abstract scientific or political problem but as a palpable force that is now affecting all of us at home. Ostrander pairs deeply reported stories of hard-won optimism with lyrical essays on the strengths we need in an era of crisis. The book is required for anyone who wants to make a home in the twenty-first century.

“There they go, off to Mars, just for the ride, thinking that they will find a planet like a seer’s crystal, in which to read a miraculous future. What they’ll find, instead, is the somewhat shopworn image of themselves. Mars is a mirror, not a crystal.” – RAY BRADBURY Life on Earth is dying. Climatic calamities are consuming country after country. Hades hot heat is boiling the seas. Endless fires are devouring continents. The human race is running for its life and running out of time. In the distance glows a beckoning beacon of hope for humanity. Mars. Three teams of Earthers ...

We are in the midst of an extinction event: the sixth mass extinction on Earth and one entirely caused by mankind. All species become extinct sooner or later, but we have accelerated that natural process several hundredfold, and now, it is happening right in front of our eyes.

What we can do, however, is reflect, remember, and ultimately acknowledge the unvarnished truth.

The Arctic Treeline - the northern limit of the boreal forest that encircles the globe in an almost unbroken green ring - is the second largest biome on our planet. At this little-known frontline of climate change, the trees have been creeping towards the pole for 50 years already. Six of the tree species that populate these forests (larch, spruce, mountain ash, downy birch, balsam poplar and Scots pine) form the central protagonists of Ben Rawlence's story.

Earth population: 1.8 billion. In a world already ravaged by climate change, society has become a dystopia of deep fake algorithms, vertical farms and digital totalitarianism. Among the very few remaining free thinkers, a retired extinction ecologist, a marine molecular biologist and a transgender woman accidentally discover a genetic locus that goes back to the origin of life on the planet.

After the last Antarctic icecaps melt, calamity follows. Landscapes are radically transformed, diseases mutate and spread with unprecedented speed, and, in response, forms the ghastly “virofinance” exchange—a market for corporations to profit from pandemics and global suffering.

The monstrous humanoid mosquito emerges in newly tropical Argentina, carrying its namesake virus and despairing of its own existence.

Deniers of climate change sometimes quip that claims about global warming are more about political science than climate science. They are wrong on the science, but may be right with respect to its political implications. A hotter world, writes Andrew Guzman, will bring unprecedented migrations, famine, war, and disease. It will be a social and political disaster of the first order.

That our ecological future appears grave can no longer come as any surprise. And yet, we have so far failed, collectively and individually, to begin the kind of action necessary to shift our path away from catastrophic climate collapse. In this stark and startling little book, Rupert Read helps us to understand the direness of our predicament while showing us a metaphor and a method a way of thinking by which we might transform it.

Aeris was born a monster—a patchwork of serpent’s skin, black scales, and brittle feathers. His gold-coin eyes, slashed like knife wounds, cut a ragged rift straight through his soul. He longs to peel away his hideous flesh, to carve himself into something real. Something human. But human skin is not given. It is taken. At a price. Generations ago, the realms fell to the Burn—the only way to purge a land so twisted by man that its harvests nourished the body while poisoning the flesh. Now, as the wilderness creeps through the ashes, what remains for nature’s tinkerers? Pathway—the...

Globally, Black people are among the most affected by the climate crisis, despite contributing very little to it. For a long time, the crisis was portrayed as yet another injustice for Black people to care about, on top of the day-to-day oppression they face.

She argues that the root of climate change lies in historical colonial violence and ongoing exploitation, making it inherently racist.
