Environmental Politics

In BOOM, prize-winning reporter Tony Horwitz takes a spirited road trip through the wild new frontier of energy in North America. His journey begins in subarctic Alberta, where thousands of miners labor in an industrial moonscape to extract the region's oil-rich tar sands. Horwitz then follows the route of the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline that may carry tar-sands oil from Canada across Montana, the Dakotas, and Nebraska en route to Gulf Coast refineries.

In Greenwashed: The New Religion of Climate Guilt, the gloves come off. With biting wit, deep research, and a healthy dose of skepticism, this book dives into the modern environmental movement—unpacking its dogmas, hypocrisies, and unintended consequences. From carbon credits traded like poker chips on Wall Street, to plant-based meats wrapped in plastic and shipped thousands of miles, Greenwashed exposes how marketing, fear, and virtue-signaling have overtaken real solutions.

Agenda 2021 presents actions that America must take in 2021 to save America and save planet Earth. Issues, reference books, and necessary actions are specified in policy areas including: Allies, Environment, Pandemic, Defending Democracy, Racial Equality, Economic Reconstruction, Citizens United, Presidential Powers, US Senate, Truth, Sexism, Safety, Education, and Free Press. Author Stacy Holmes warns that failure to take revolutionary action in all of these areas imperils America's future as a representative democracy and imperils the future habitability of planet Earth.

Plastic pollution is the environmental scourge of our age, but how can you make a difference? This accessible guide, written by the campaigner at the forefront of the antiplastic movement, will help you make the small changes that make a big difference, from buying a reusable coffee cup to running a cleanup at your local park or beach.

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.

Es ist Zeit für eine neue Sicht auf die Klimapolitik. Für eine ehrliche Bilanz. Für Ziele, die erreichbar sind und uns nicht überfordern. Für eine stärkere globale Klima-Kooperation, die China voll einbezieht. Und für mehr Tempo bei der Anpassung an die Folgen der Erderwärmung.

L'économie est une mythologie qui désenchante le monde : plus que jamais "lugubre", elle pollue le débat public de ses fausses certitudes et empoisonne l'esprit démocratique. Les mythes économiques contemporains ont pour fonction principale de détourner l'attention des citoyens des véritables enjeux dont ils devraient se soucier et débattre. Nos mythologies économiques sont des mystifications politiques.

Saving the world won't happen on the silver screen. In our fragile ecosystem, climate change is swiftly becoming the defining issue of how to prepare - and protect - the earth for the future. The climate change debate raged on in America in 2015, but the facts and the science now show irrefutably that our world is rapidly changing, and that irreparable damage has already begun.

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!

Hi, I’m Richard Walker, and I wrote Who Cares? A decade ago. The climate crisis and the financial crisis of 2008 were the main motivators for me. Now in 2021, we are still hurtling toward a climate disaster, despite more than 30 years of dire warnings. And we’ve been devastated by a virus even though scientists have been warning governments for the past 40 years. One early warning came from a Nobel Prize winner. Joshua Lederberg he said: “The single biggest threat to man’s continued dominance on the planet is the virus.”
