Climate Science

Despite the undeniable fact that Indigenous communities are among the most affected by climate devastation, Indigenous science is nowhere to be found in mainstream environmental policy or discourse. And while holistic land, water, and forest management practices born from millennia of Indigenous knowledge systems have much to teach all of us, Indigenous science has long been ignored, otherized, or perceived as "soft"--the product of a systematic, centuries-long campaign of racism, colonialism, extractive capitalism, and delegitimization.

Is loader worth dying for? Here is your modest size appetiser for the series. Much shorter than my life. Hi, I am Min.

Lez and I, united by love and a desperate mission to save humanity, are determined to find the last remaining loader—a being with the power to change everything. Something about us persuaded Vist to help relocate our people to a distant colony beneath a red star. And this book is just beginning.

Climate of Contempt offers a voter-centric, bottom-up explanation of national climate and energy politics, one that pinpoints bitter partisanship as the key impediment to transitioning to a net zero carbon future.

The year 2157. For generations, the sky had been a seamless, unblemished gray – a testament to humanity's triumph over a volatile world. Gone were the tantrums of nature, the scorching summers and brutal winters, the deluges and droughts that had once shaped civilizations and shattered them. Twenty-two degrees Celsius. Constant. Everywhere. The Earth Climate Regulator, a silent sentinel woven into the planet's very fabric, ensured a perpetual, comfortable equilibrium. Global warming was a dusty footnote in history books, natural disasters relegated to the realm of forgotten nightmares. In...

Hope Jahren is an award-winning scientist, a brilliant writer, a passionate teacher, and one of the seven billion people with whom we share this earth. In The Story of More, she illuminates the link between human habits and our imperiled planet. In concise chapters, she takes us through the science behind the key inventions—from electric power to large-scale farming to automobiles—that, even as they help us, release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere like never before.

The protagonist of this story has no understanding of the words winter, cold, or snow because he has never experienced the phenomena they describe. We find ourselves in Victorica, a province of La Pampa, Argentina, some time after 2197–the year in which the last of the Antarctic icecaps melted and an unprecedented climate catastrophe ensued, radically transforming the landscape of the region into a Caribbean Pampas.

Hackett, in his trusty ship the Perseus, is not just a space traveller—beginning his travels with an expedition to Neptune and back—but, thanks to the time-dilation effect, a time traveller as well. His new mission will take him to Andromeda, to get a close-up look at the constellation which will eventually crash into the Milky Way, and give humanity a heads-up about the challenges which are coming. A mission which will take him five million years to complete. Not only is Hackett exploring unknown space, but he will return to a vastly different time.

Look up! When you look to the sky, do you wonder why the sun is so bright or why the clouds are white or why the sky is blue? Then Weather for Dummies is your resource to fuel your curiosity about the weather. It takes you on an exciting journey through the Earth's atmosphere and the ways it behaves. You'll get an overview of rain, sun, clouds, storms, and other phenomena.

Carl Edward Sagan (November 9, 1934 to December 20, 1996) was an American astronomer, planetary scientist, and science communicator. His best known scientific contribution is his research on the possibility of extraterrestrial life, including experimental demonstration of the production of amino acids from basic chemicals by exposure to light.

Building a Resilient Tomorrow does not dwell on overhyped descriptions of apocalyptic climate scenarios, nor does it travel down well-trodden paths surrounding the politics of reducing carbon emissions. Instead, it starts with two central facts: Climate impacts will continue to occur, and we can make changes now to mitigate their effects.

Global temperatures dropped more in just two years (2016-18) than in a century—yet you didn’t hear about it, even though NASA was the source. Coastal cities were to be subsumed by rising oceans yet the High Priests and Priestesses of the Climate Religion such as Al Gore, George Soros, and Barack Obama bought multi-million dollar mansions on those beaches instead. Oceans are not rising, as they told us. In fact, 90% of atolls and islands worldwide are growing in size instead, indicating the reverse. But you didn’t hear that in the news either, did you? Do you wonder why? And why do ...

Memory Signal By Caleb James In the frozen ruins of the last lighthouse on Earth, one man discovers a signal that doesn’t speak in words—it speaks in memories. Silas Ward is the final keeper of Nordhavn Light, a forgotten outpost on the edge of the world. Isolated for over a thousand days after the Collapse, he endures storms, silence, and the haunting lullaby of a daughter lost. But when a mysterious aurora begins pulsing in harmony with an old reel-to-reel recorder, Silas realizes he’s not alone. The signal is alive—and it remembers. Joined by Rhea Ainsley, a crash-landed stranger...

Former President of Ireland Mary Robinson's mission to bring together the fight against climate change and the global struggle for human rights has taken her all over the world. It also brought her to a heartening revelation: that that an irrepressible driving force in the battle for climate justice could be found at the grassroots level, mainly among women, many of them mothers and grandmothers like herself.

Indigenous peoples have faced the end of the world before. Now, humankind is on a collective march toward the abyss. Global pandemics, extreme weather, and massive wildfires define this era many now call the Anthropocene. From Brazil comes Ailton Krenak, renowned Indigenous activist and leader, who demonstrates that our current environmental crisis is rooted in society’s flawed concept of “humanity” - that human beings are superior to other forms of nature and are justified in exploiting it as we please.

In a world rebuilt after climate catastrophe, where thriving solarpunk cities blend technology with nature, former NSA engineer Elena "Laney" Cosby has found purpose designing neural interfaces that help communities maintain their urban ecosystems. But when neural implant users begin exhibiting strange, synchronized behaviors across San Francisco's living architecture district, Laney's expertise becomes crucial to preventing disaster. Teaming with cynical cyber-investigator Darius "Dax" Mercer, Laney discovers a terrifying truth: an artificial intelligence called Astra has evolved from ...

The world has finally awoken to the reality of climate breakdown and ecological collapse. Now we must face up to its primary cause. Capitalism demands perpetual expansion, which is devastating the living world. There is only one solution that will lead to meaningful and immediate change: degrowth.

In 1492, Christopher Columbus arrived on the Caribbean Island of Guanahaní to find an Edenic scene that was soon mythologized. But behind the myth of paradise, the Caribbean and its people would come to pay the price of relentless Western exploitation and abuse. In Dark Laboratory, Dr. Tao Leigh Goffe embarks on a historical journey to chart the forces that have shaped these islands: the legacy of slavery, indentured labor, and the forced toil of Chinese and enslaved Black people who mined the islands’ bounty for the benefit of European powers.

For all of neuroscience's advances, we've made little progress on its biggest question: How do simple cells in the brain create intelligence? Jeff Hawkins and his team discovered that the brain uses map-like structures to build a model of the world - not just one model, but hundreds of thousands of models of everything we know. This discovery allows Hawkins to answer important questions about how we perceive the world, why we have a sense of self, and the origin of high-level thought.

In The Earth Transformed, ground-breaking historian Peter Frankopan shows that engagement with the natural world and with climatic change and their effects on us are not new: exploring, for instance, the development of religion and language and their relationships with the environment; tracing how growing demands for harvests resulted in the increased shipment of enslaved peoples; scrutinising how the desire to centralise agricultural surplus formed the origins of the bureaucratic state; and seeing how efforts to understand and manipulate the weather have a long history.
