Environmental Change

As climate change becomes an international crisis, more and more industries are looking for a sound model for creating successful environmentally friendly companies, and a new generation of young leaders are eager for inspiration and guidance on creating sustainable businesses. Mid-Course Correction Revisited advocates why we need to create prototypical green companies and a new economy - not based on non-renewable resources, but on renewable energy, aggressive recycling, innovative technology, and sustainable business practices.

As humans accelerate global warming while laying waste to the environment, animals and plants must flee to the margins: on scattered nature reserves, between major highways, or among urban sprawl. And when even these places become too hot and inhospitable, wildlife is left with only one path to survival: an often-formidable journey toward the poles as they race to find a new home in a warming world. Award-winning environmental journalist Benjamin von Brackel traces these awe-inspiring journeys and celebrates the remarkable resilience of species around the world.

In Climaturity, Marc Cortez advocates for a transparent climate discussion where half-truths are completed, climate science limitations are put into context, and politicians are held accountable for spending taxpayer dollars. Climaturity offers a new perspective on the climate controversy through the pragmatic lens of a long-time renewable energy industry veteran. Part science, part satire, and part snark, he takes a stand against the climate panic movement.

Everyone loves to travel, and the industry’s room for growth seems almost limitless—except that flying will soon be responsible for 19 percent of global emissions. Some people have even decided never to fly. Over the coming decades, aviation will witness more innovation than at any time since the invention of the jet engine in the 1940s, transforming the way planes are powered and the way they look.

Andreas Karelas has a message we don’t often hear: We have all the tools we need to solve the climate crisis, and doing so will improve our lives, our economy, and our society. But to engage people in the climate fight, we need stories that are empowering, inclusive, and solutions-oriented, not based in fear. Karelas digs into the latest data on the rapidly falling costs and increased efficiencies of clean energy technologies compared to fossil fuels, looks at the rate of job creation in the clean energy sector, and introduces the listener to the inspiring work of climate heroes.

Why Elephants Cry is a fascinating frolic through the literature and evidence surrounding the use of unusual behavior of animals to measure and predict the environment. The role of animals, from the smallest ant to the biggest elephant, as predictors of environmental changes is framed around the climate crisis, which highlights the increasingly important part that animals will have to play in the future. Renowned biologist Professor John T. Hancock collects anecdotal stories and myths along with scientific evidence, demonstrating that observation of animals can be of tangible use.

Have you worried that all that we can seem to do so far is to debate whether climate change exists, whether it's mankind's fault, and whether anything should be done about it? Have you felt despair because while all of this debate continues, you or your family or your friends are standing waist deep in flood waters? This book isn't a debate about climate change. The facts described in nearly all of the global warming books takes care of doing that. This book is about realistic solutions that can be implemented globally to treat the symptoms of climate change!

One of the biggest problems mankind faces today is one of our own making: Climate change. While this continues to be debated by climate deniers even today, one cannot ignore the effect that it so obviously has on our communities and the natural world surrounding them. In this age of rampant wildfires and melting icecaps, the youth of today are striving tirelessly to make their voices heard. Throughout this audiobook, we will detail the efforts these young people are undertaking in order to ensure that the planet will continue to sustain us for generations to come.

Global awareness of climate change is growing rapidly. Science has proven that our planet and species are facing a massive environmental crisis. How to Save Our Planet is a call to action, guaranteed to equip everyone with the knowledge needed to make change. Be under no illusion the challenges of the 21st century are immense. We need to deal with: climate change, environmental destruction, global poverty and ensure everyone's security.

Ungewöhnlich heiße Sommer, Superstürme, Dauerregen, Überschwemmungen - der Klimawandel ist da. Das Bestsellerduo Bonner/Weiss ("Generation Doof") nimmt sich in "Generation Weltuntergang" die Erderwärmung und den Klimawandel vor und sagt, wie es so weit kommen konnte, wie sehr uns die klimatischen Veränderungen betreffen und was wir jetzt tun müssen. Obwohl in den Nachrichten Daueralarm herrscht, das Wetter Kapriolen schlägt, der Meeresspiegel steigt und die Pole schmelzen, wettern Scharfmacher allerorten gegen die Klimawissenschaft, und die Politiker haben keinen Plan.

Tutti noi abbiamo un'idea sbagliata dei rifiuti in Italia. Se pensiamo ai cassonetti incendiati, alle strade sommerse di sacchi, se pensiamo alla tragedia della Terra dei fuochi e delle discariche fuori legge sparse in tutto il Paese dovremmo disperarci. Ma in realtà noi italiani siamo migliori di quello che ci raccontiamo. Lo dimostra il movimento Rifiuti Zero, di cui Rossano Ercolini è il principale artefice in Italia.

We've been "saving the planet" for decades...and environmental crises just get worse. All this hybrid driving and LEED building and carbon trading seems to accomplish little to nothing - and low-income communities continue to suffer the worst consequences. Why aren't we cleaning up the toxic messes and rolling back climate change? And why do so many Americans hate environmentalists? Jenny Price says Enough already! with this short, fun, fierce manifesto for an environmentalism that is hugely more effective, a whole lot fairer, and infinitely less righteous.

When medical waste washes ashore ruining their beach, the World Patrol Kids track down the criminals causing the problem.

In the wake of the pope's monumental Apocalyptic Encyclical on climate change, this audiobook seeks to present both of the sides of the debate, but not only that, it seeks to invoke the thoughts of the listener so that after ingesting so much energy and theories around the subject they can create their own interpretation of this complicated and multifaceted topic of global warming and climate change!

Deforestation. Desertification. Species extinction. Global warming. Growing threats to food and water. The driving issues of our times are the result of one huge problem: Us. As the population continues to grow, our problems will increase. And this means that every way we look at it, a planet of 10 billion people is likely to be a nightmare. Stephen Emmott, a scientist whose lab is at the forefront of research into complex natural systems, sounds the alarm. This is a snapshot of our planet, and our species, approaching a crisis, and a stark analysis of where this leaves us.
