REVEALING THE OMEGA KEY: COSMIC LOVE STORY THROUGH END-TIME EARTH-CHANGE PROPHECY TO MODERN GLOBAL CONSPIRACY speaks for so many voices in time and across dimensions, calling us to hear their stories, their realities, their teachings, their discoveries, their sciences, their mythologies -- their prophecies. Are we humans facing extinction, or are we learning vastly expansive ways to survive changes in our environment, our societies, our minds, our souls, our consciousnesses? This epic saga, this interdimensional love and conspiracy story, meets these questions head-on. For more on the ...

We live at a time in which scientists race to reanimate extinct beasts, our most essential ecosystems require monumental engineering projects to survive, chicken breasts grow in test tubes, and multinational corporations conspire to poison the blood of every living creature. No rock, leaf, or cubic foot of air on Earth has escaped humanity's clumsy signature. The old distinctions - between natural and artificial, dystopia and utopia, science fiction and science fact - have blurred, losing all meaning. We inhabit an uncanny landscape of our own creation.

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.

An energy expert shows why hydrogen can fight climate change and become the fuel of the future. That may sound too good to be true, but as energy expert Marco Alverà explains, if we're going to heal the climate, we need to start thinking big. This audiobook is the blueprint for how to get us there. This is a guidebook for how to save the world and whether you are a policy maker, a business person, an activist, or simply curious, the message is this: there is hope, for us and our planet. The best part about hydrogen is that when you burn it, the only by-product is water.

What if Earth Plan "A" Fails? The Paris Accord is in a shambles. Global Average Temperature is rising fast toward that 2-degree Centigrade limit! What is next? What would Earth Plan "B" look like? How do we truly arrest Climate Change, save ourselves and future generations? This exciting science-filled novel contains one possible way forward, toward a viable potential future Earth! Many believed that the burning of hydrocarbon-containing fossil fuels by humankind has contributed materially to global warming. Life on Earth is part of the natural carbon cycle. Plants have for millions of ...

Debates on energy policy, environmental regulation, and global warming start with the largely unquestioned assumption that the present heat and power system is economically optimal. It then follows that any actions to change the energy system to achieve other goals, such as lowering pollution, will raise the cost of energy services and damage the economy. It then further follows that the only way to have affordable, clean energy is to invent and develop new technology. This view is widespread. President George W. Bush, in a major speech on climate change said, “Technology is the ticket”...

Neal Stephenson’s sweeping, prescient new novel transports listeners to a near-future world where the greenhouse effect has inexorably resulted in a whirling-dervish troposphere of superstorms, rising sea levels, global flooding, merciless heat waves and virulent, deadly pandemics. One man has a Big Idea for reversing global warming, a master plan perhaps best described as 'elemental'. But will it work? And just as important, what are the consequences for the planet and all of humanity should it be applied?

We live in an age of mass extinction. The earth's biodiversity is decreasing at a faster rate than ever. Industrial agriculture and the standardisation of taste are not only wiping out many edible plants but also the food cultures, histories and livelihoods that go with them. Inspired by a global project to collect and preserve foods that are at risk of extinction, Dan Saladino sets out to encounter these endangered foods.

The Breach is the second book in The Dome series, a gripping thriller about a young man’s immersion in the world of refugees suffering from the catastrophic consequences of climate change. After his return from Greenland, Dylan Myers goes back to his comfortable live in his compound in Denmark, safely shielded from the harsh and inhospitable place that the world has become. But a strange and unexpected meeting with a friend gets him sucked up into a living nightmare with no way out. Meanwhile, inside the Dome, Elliot discovers the shocking truth his father had been hiding from him. ...

How Bad Are Bananas? was a groundbreaking book when first published in 2009, when most of us were hearing the phrase 'carbon footprint' for the first time. Mike Berners-Lee set out to inform us what was important (aviation, heating, swimming pools) and what made very little difference (bananas, naturally packaged, are good!). This new edition updates all the figures (from data centres to hosting a World Cup) and introduces many areas that have become a regular part of modern life - Twitter, the Cloud, Bitcoin, electric bikes and cars, even space tourism.

More and more frequent extreme weather events occur each year, and wildlife everywhere is increasingly endangered. Science fiction or science fact, most climate experts see this as our world on climate change—and, according to polls, a majority of people around the globe agree. Climate Change for Dummies allows you to investigate this hottest of hotly debated issues for yourself—examining its causes, the way it affects our lives, and what we can all do to make a difference.

Discover how we can reverse global warming in mere decades with Gigaton Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), even if you’re skeptical of past climate solutions, which have always been too complicated and slow to adapt Are you searching for a straightforward way to address the overwhelming threat of climate change and increasing global temperatures? Frustrated with the constant focus on renewables without comprehensive solutions for the excessive CO2 in the air? Have you ever wondered if there's a scientific, reliable approach to reversing global warming that doesn't feel idealistic or ...

Hoy, la subida del nivel del mar es una causa de alarma generalizada entre aquellos que ya han abandonado el sueño pernicioso de que el calentamiento global es un mito. Sin embargo, no es ni siquiera la punta del gigantesco iceberg de horrores inimaginables que amenazan la vida en la Tierra: incendios, huracanes, sequías, inundaciones...

Never have so many undertaken such a widespread, hurried attempt to remake the world. Predictably, our hubris has led to unintended—and sometimes disastrous—consequences. Over the Seawall tells us the stories behind these unintended consequences and the fixes that can do more harm than good. From seawalls in coastal Japan, to the reengineered waters in the Ganges River Delta, to the artificial ribbon of water supporting both farms and urban centers in parched Arizona, Stephen Robert Miller traces the histories of engineering marvels that were once deemed too smart and too big to fail.

Academic, physicist, environmental expert and award-winning science communicator Paul Behrens presents a radical analysis of a civilisation on the brink of catastrophe. Setting out the pressing existential threats we face, he writes, in alternating chapters, of what the future could look like at its most pessimistic and hopeful. In lucid and clear-sighted prose, Behrens argues that structural problems need structural solutions and examines critical areas in which political will is required, including women's education, food and energy security, biodiversity and economics.

From Joseph Romm, Chief Science Advisor for National Geographic's Years of Living Dangerously series and one of Rolling Stone's "100 people who are changing America," Climate Change offers user-friendly, scientifically rigorous answers to the most difficult (and commonly politicized) questions surrounding what climatologist Lonnie Thompson has deemed "a clear and present danger to civilization."
