Escaping Nature: How to Survive Global Climate Change

Description: Escaping Nature: How to Survive Global Climate Change [Paperback] Pilkey, Orrin H.; Pilkey, Charles O.; Pilkey-Jarvis, Linda P.; Longo, Norma J.; Pilkey, Keith C.; Dodson, Fred B. and Hayes, Hannah L. Product Overview Industrial and agricultural greenhouse gas emissions are rapidly warming
Earth’s climate, unleashing rising seas, ocean acidification, melting
permafrost, powerful storms, wildfires, floods, deadly heat waves, droughts,
tsunamis, food shortages, and armed conflict over shrinking water supplies
while reducing nutritional levels in crops. Billions of people will become
climate refugees. Hotter temperatures will allow tropical diseases to spread
into temperate regions. Higher levels of CO2, allergens, dust, and other
particulate matter will impair our physical and mental health and even reduce
our cognitive abilities. Climate change disproportionately affects the world’s
poor. It also harms Nature, and could ultimately trigger a sixth mass
extinction. In Escaping Nature, Orrin H. Pilkey and his coauthors offer
concrete suggestions for how to respond to the threats posed by global climate
change. They argue that while we wait for the world’s governments to get
serious about mitigating climate change we can adapt to a hotter world through
technological innovations, behavioral changes, nature-based solutions,
political changes, and education.
