Wie wir Klimarettung und Demokratie neu denken müssen. Klimaschutz und Demokratie, das passt für viele Menschen nicht zusammen. Den einen geht der Kampf gegen die Klimakrise zu langsam voran, während die anderen sich von einer angeblichen Ökodiktatur bedroht sehen. SPIEGEL-Journalist Jonas Schaible räumt in diesem Debatten(hör-)buch mit solchen falschen Widersprüchen auf. Er zeigt, dass Klima und Demokratie sich sogar gegenseitig bedingen: Demokratie gibt es nur auf einem bewohnbaren Planten – und das Klima wird sich nur mit demokratischen Mitteln retten lassen.

This book will not be for everyone. It explores some of the deep reasons fish (and the things they eat) act the way they do. That might seem to risk spoiling the magic of fly fishing—until you realize how much it still leaves in the realms of intuition, mystery, and natural beauty of the world outdoors.

Since 2021, 85 percent of people around the world have been transforming their behavior to become more eco-conscious.

Da jorden blev dannet for 4,6 milliarder år siden, var den så varm, at intet levende kunne bo her. Det var bare en gold og stenet kugle. Men kometer af is blev ved med at bombardere planeten, så den til sidst blev afkølet og beboelig. Det skabte fundamentet for det liv, vi kender her på kloden. Så når vi tænder for vores vandhane eller tager en isterning ud af fryseren, så er det alt sammen, fordi en serie af kometer bestående primært af is bragte vand og materialer ned til jorden fra rummets fjerneste afkroge. Vi er ikke bare stjernestøv. Vi er smeltede iskrystaller.

All in an America free of crass commercialism and overdevelopment.

Whitney Balliett's magnificent essay on the Great Hurricane of 1938 appeared in The New Yorker fifty years after the event.

On October 29, 1991, the 70-foot longliner Andrea Gail, on day 40 of an extended commercial swordfishing trip, was lost in a convergence of three powerful storms off Canada’s Grand Banks. Data buoys measured waves as high as 100 feet, and the boat was hit with winds measuring 80 knots (92 miles per hour). The Andrea Gail’s emergency beacon washed ashore that November on Sable Island, off the coast of Nova Scotia, but the boat and 6-man crew were never found. The crew left behind five children among them, and the entire small town mourned the loss.

Natural disasters and the dire effects of climate change cause massive population displacements and lead to some of the most intractable political and humanitarian challenges seen today. Yet, as Maria Cristina Garcia observes in this critical history of U.S. policy on migration in the Global South, there is actually no such thing as a "climate refugee" under current U.S. law. Most initiatives intended to assist those who must migrate are flawed and ineffective from inception because they are derived from outmoded policies. In a world of climate change, U.S. refugee policy simply does not work.

Economic growth is wrecking the planet. It's the engine driving climate change, pollution, and the shrinking of natural spaces. To save the environment, will we have to shrink the economy? Might this lead to a better society, helping us break free from an obsession with material wealth that only benefits the few? Alessio Terzi takes these questions as a starting point for a journey into the socioeconomic, evolutionary, and cultural origins of our need for growth.

The Story of Humanity: Ecology & Consequence is the natural history of humanity from emergence to demise. It is a saga of misadventure from a remarkably adaptable creature. In thrall to technology and driven by greed, men wiped themselves out as fast as they could. More than mere chronicle, this is the story of why.
