Wie eine Mutter und ihre Tochter von Pellworm die Politik bezwungen haben. Die Nordseeinseln Pellworm ist die Heimat von Sophie und Silke Backsen. Hier werden die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels besonders spürbar: Die Insel liegt heute bereits einen Meter unter dem Meeresspiegel, jede weitere Erhöhung desselben wäre katastrophal.

Während wir hier über Klimaziele und Erderwärmung diskutieren, führt Trump die größte Volkswirtschaft der Welt in ein neues Ölzeitalter, von Alaska bis zum Golf von Mexiko werden ganze Landstriche zu Industriebrachen. Das hat weitreichende Folgen für unseren Planeten, ökologisch und politisch. Der Kampf um den Öl-Thron ist neu entschieden, die Gewichte verschieben sich, die Opec spielt eine immer unbedeutendere Rolle, neue Allianzen werden geschmiedet, und ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste zieht die US-Wirtschaft den anderen davon.

Perpetually covered in ice and snow, the mountainous Antarctic Peninsula stretches southward toward the South Pole where it merges with the largest and coldest mass of ice anywhere on the planet. Yet far from being an otherworldly "Pole Apart", the region has the most contested political history of any part of the Antarctic Continent. In Frozen Empires, Adrian Howkins argues that there has been a fundamental continuity in the ways in which imperial powers have used the environment to support their political claims in the Antarctic Peninsula region.

In 2019, climate activist Charlie Hertzog Young attempted suicide, following a succession of breakdowns. He jumped off a building, resulting in the loss of both legs. He spent a month in a coma, lost his flat and woke up without a job. In rebuilding his life physically and emotionally, Charlie saw that the climate crisis and mental illness are inextricably linked and, equally, little understood. In this reflective account of his own recovery, he explores how his bipolarity was largely driven by climate change and identifies the ways in which our culture has led to the current crisis.

Die Neuerfindung der Weltpolitik. Das Zeitalter der kohlenstoffbasierten Energieerzeugung geht zu Ende. Eine vergleichbare Zäsur ist auch für das globale politische System zu erwarten. Menschen sind Gewohnheitstiere und stellen sich die Zukunft nur allzu gerne als eine Weiterführung der Gegenwart vor, das galt selbst nach so großen Umbrüchen wie dem Kollaps der Sowjetunion vor 30 Jahren. Und es gilt auch heute wieder, in Zeiten einer dreifachen Welterschütterung - der Pandemie, der galoppierenden Erderwärmung und der digitalen Revolution.

Wir leben gesünder und länger als jede Generation vor uns. Und doch sind wir verletzlicher als gedacht: Ein Virus hält uns in Atem und ungebremst schlittern wir in die Klimakrise. Langsam dämmert uns: Gesundheit ist mehr als Pillen und Apparate. Wir Menschen brauchen, um gesund zu sein, als Allererstes etwas zu essen, zu trinken, zu atmen. Und erträgliche Außentemperaturen. Gesunde Menschen gibt es nur auf einer gesunden Erde. Eckart von Hirschhausen zeigt, was die globalen Krisen unserer Zeit für die Gesundheit von jedem Einzelnen bedeuten.

Carola Rackete traf die mutige Entscheidung, sich über das Verbot des italienischen Innenministeriums hinwegzusetzen und mit der "Sea Watch 3" den Hafen von Lampedusa anzusteuern. An Bord: 53 aus dem Mittelmeer gerettete Geflüchtete. Hier erzählt sie, warum sie sich so bedingungslos für Menschlichkeit, globale Gerechtigkeit und Naturschutz einsetzt. Denn dass Menschen aus ihrer Heimat fliehen, hängt unmittelbar mit der Klimakrise und der zunehmenden globalen Ungerechtigkeit zusammen.

From mavericks to party standard-bearers, United States Senators, members of the House of Representatives, and presidential candidates have campaigned for four decades espousing their intentions to address the impacts of climate change.

Yes, the world faces substantial environmental challenges - climate change, pollution, and extinction. But the surprisingly good news is that we have solutions to these problems. In the past 50 years, a remarkable number of environmental problems have been solved while substantial progress is ongoing on others. The Optimistic Environmentalist chronicles these remarkable success stories. Endangered species - from bald eagles to gray whales - pulled back from the precipice of extinction.

The environment is collapsing at a rapid rate, and in increasingly unpredictable ways. Everyone knows that this is happening, and yet the only politics that is emerging to tackle it are coming from the increasingly nativist far-right. How should the left respond? In Planet on Fire, two rising stars of the British left lay down a set of proposals for a fundamental re-shaping of the global economy and offer a road map for tackling climate breakdown.

Deniers of climate change sometimes quip that claims about global warming are more about political science than climate science. They are wrong on the science, but may be right with respect to its political implications. A hotter world, writes Andrew Guzman, will bring unprecedented migrations, famine, war, and disease. It will be a social and political disaster of the first order.

Nicholas Stern, former chief economist of the World Bank, was asked by the British government to direct the largest study ever conducted into the reality of global warming and the possible ways of remedying it. Backed by full government resources, Stern answers the most urgent questions of our time: what will be the cost of global warming - and what can we do about it?

Beyond images of emaciated polar bears and drought-cracked lakes, there remains a major part of climate change's impact that the media has neglected: how our health will suffer from higher temperatures and extreme weather. From spiraling rates of asthma and allergies and spikes in heatstroke-related deaths to swarms of invasive insects carrying diseases like dengue or West Nile and increases in heart and lung disease and cancer, the effect of rising temperatures on human health will be far-reaching, and is more imminent than we think.

In this provocative manifesto, Assaad Razzouk shows that for too long our ideas about what's best for the environment have been unfocused and distracted, trying to go in too many directions and concentrating on individual behavior. While some of these things can be useful, they are dwarfed by one big thing that simply has to happen very soon if we're to avoid major environmental breakdown: curtailing the activities of the fossil fuel industry.

Down to the Wire is a sober and eloquent assessment of climate destabilization and an urgent call to action. David Orr describes how political negligence, an economy based on the insatiable consumption of trivial goods, and a disdain for the well-being of future generations have brought us to the tipping point that biologist Edward O. Wilson calls "[T]he bottleneck".
