This book speculates about the future of climate and life in our fast changing world. The author makes educated predictions about the decades to come laying out the work the world has ahead of it. Although it starts out quite depressing, this is one of the most positive and inspirational books I've ever read on the subject. ( ) I gave this 100 pages. And then I stopped, as I'll do when a book doesn't interest me. For a forecaster (Holthaus), there's not any forecasting here, just conjecture. He also spends pages and pages making the same basic point. For what it's worth, I agree with the basic premise: anthropogenic climate change is real and we have to take drastic action immediately to combat it. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
The first hopeful book about climate change, The Future Earth shows readers how to reverse the short- and long-term effects of climate change over the next three decades. The basics of climate science are easy. We know it is entirely human-caused. Which means its solutions will be similarly human-led. In The Future Earth, leading climate change advocate and weather-related journalist Eric Holthaus ("the Rebel Nerd of Meteorology"--Rolling Stone) offers a radical vision of our future, specifically how to reverse the short- and long-term effects of climate change over the next three decades. Anchored by world-class reporting, interviews with futurists, climatologists, biologists, economists, and climate change activists, it shows what the world could look like if we implemented radical solutions on the scale of the crises we face. What could happen if we reduced carbon emissions by 50 percent in the next decade? What could living in a city look like in 2030? How could the world operate in 2040, if the proposed Green New Deal created a 100 percent net carbon-free economy in the United States? This is the book for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the current state of our environment. Hopeful and prophetic, The Future Earth invites us to imagine how we can reverse the effects of climate change in our own lifetime and encourages us to enter a deeper relationship with the earth as conscientious stewards and to re-affirm our commitment to one another in our shared humanity.
