A collection of The New Yorker’s groundbreaking reporting from the front lines of climate change - including writing from Bill McKibben, Elizabeth Kolbert, Ian Frazier, Kathryn Schulz, and more.

Wagner and Martin Weitzman explore in lively, clear terms the likely repercussions of a hotter planet, drawing on and expanding from work previously unavailable to general audiences. They show that the longer we wait to act, the more likely an extreme event will happen. A city might go underwater.

The poems in SAVE GOD’S EARTH by Author Brenda Mohammed open our eyes to stark reality. The Earth does not belong to us. It belongs to God and we are only the tenants. Our purpose and duty to our Creator is to take care of what he has blessed us with. Through the Earth, God provides us with fresh water, food, and oxygen. Humans, animals, and other species depend on these necessities to live. Our forests, rivers, oceans, and soils provide us with numerous goods and services. One of the biggest environmental challenges right now is Climate Change and its effects on human and animal life. ...

The lessons they have learned have been invaluable, inspiring this brilliant escape hatch from the madhouse of the climate wars.

The news is full of hotly debated divergent claims about the impacts and risks of climate change. Lawrence Krauss, one of the world's most respected physicists and science populizers, cuts through the confusion by succinctly presenting the underlying science of climate change. The audiobook provides a unique, clear, accurate and easily accessible perspective of climate science and the risks of global inaction.

Beware! The Earth teeters on the edge of disaster! A dire warning echoes through the corridors of time, urging swift action to halt the relentless march toward catastrophe. The stakes couldn't be higher: if we fail to curb population growth and rein in CO2 emissions, we face an unimaginable fate—a cataclysmic cascade of events that could decimate life on our planet, leaving only a fraction of species standing amidst the ruins. There's no time for debate; action is our only recourse. With each passing moment, the window of opportunity narrows, and the cost of inaction skyrockets. The signs...

The year is 2032. Three astronauts—veterans of a harrowing intergalactic journey beyond the Milky Way—find themselves back on Earth, but not the Earth they remember.

But the country they now return to is unrecognizable—fractured, bitterly divided, and teetering on the edge of collapse. Shocked and heartbroken, the astronauts traverse this broken landscape, witnessing firsthand the consequences of years of anger, distrust, and division. America has ...

Elizabeth’s daughter, Angelica, has joined a cadre of eco-terrorists, and Mary (yes, the Holy One) has abruptly ended her “Operation: Earth Rescue” appearances at Elizabeth’s North Carolina farm. Now Elizabeth must discover her own calling, a passion worth risking her life for. It’s a journey into her own heart, and the adventure she embarks on is as unpredictable to her as it will be to the reader.

For decades scientists and environmentalists have sounded the alarm about the effects of global warming. We are now past the tipping point. As floods, storms, and extreme temperatures become our daily reality, "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" efforts aren't enough anymore. In Hacking Planet Earth, New York Times best-selling author Thomas Kostigen takes listeners to the frontlines of geoengineering projects that scientists, entrepreneurs, engineers, and other visionaries around the world are developing to solve the problems associated with climate change.

It is worse, much worse, than you think. The slowness of climate change is a fairy tale, perhaps as pernicious as the one that says it isn't happening at all, and if your anxiety about it is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible, even within the lifetime of a teenager today.

The world's oceans are changing at a drastic pace. In response, the people who know the ocean most intimately are taking action for the sake of our shared future. Community scientists track species in California tidepools. Researchers dive into the waters around Sydney to replant kelp forests. Scientists and First Nations communities collaborate to restore clam gardens in the Pacific Northwest.

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 ...

Twenty years ago, with The End of Nature, Bill McKibben offered one of the earliest warnings about global warming. Those warnings went mostly unheeded; now, he insists, we need to acknowledge that we've waited too long, and that massive change is not only unavoidable but already under way. Our old familiar globe is suddenly melting, drying, acidifying, flooding, and burning in ways that no human has ever seen.

The Universe, the Galaxy, the Sun, the Planets, and the Climate Change. All this is so vast and fascinating, keeping me up at night. I always wanted to know it all and study everything I could, but Life is too short, and you can pick up only a few threads of knowledge. It’s like a desert full of sand, and you want to investigate every tiny grain, every speck of it, but time is ticking away too fast. Still, you have something if you got just a few grains of that sand but studied it well. Someone else may pick it after you and go further, much further. And then another and another… More ...

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."

For the last three billion years or so, life on Earth was shaped by natural forces. Evolution tended to happen slowly, with species crafted across millennia. Then, a few hundred thousand years ago, along came a bolshie, big-brained, bipedal primate we now call Homo sapiens, and with that, the Earth’s natural history came to an abrupt end. We are now living through the post-natural phase, where humans have become the leading force shaping evolution. This audiobook considers the many ways that we’ve altered the DNA of living things and changed the fate of life on earth.

Dr Matt Winning is a stand-up comedian and environmental economist with a PhD in climate change policy, which means he's the sort of doctor who will rush to your side if you fall ill on a plane, but only to berate you for flying. We are currently facing a global climate emergency. You've probably noticed. But why does the end of the world need to be so depressing? Hot Mess aims to both lighten the mood and enlighten listeners on climate change. This is an audiobook for people who care about climate change but aren't doing much about it.

Climate change is a major topic of concern today and will be so for the foreseeable future, as predicted changes in global temperatures, rainfall, and sea level continue to take place. But as Jan Zalasiewicz and Mark Williams reveal in The Goldilocks Planet, the climatic changes we are experiencing today hardly compare to the changes the Earth has seen over the last 4.5 billion years.
