"The Madhouse Effect portrays the intellectual pretzels into which denialists must twist logic to explain away the clear evidence that human activity has changed Earth's climate. Toles's cartoons collapse counter-scientific strategies into their biased components, helping readers see how to best strike at these fallacies. Mann's expert skills at science communication aim to restore sanity to a debate that continues to rage against widely acknowledged...

A Rough Ride to the Future introduces two new Lovelockian ideas. The first is that three hundred years ago, when Thomas Newcomen invented the steam engine, he was unknowingly beginning what James Lovelock calls "accelerated evolution."

Today's "extreme weather events" (record-breaking heat waves, droughts, and melting ice caps) foreshadow an increasingly unstable and dire future. Yet, despite all, the US government continues to reject the Kyoto Protocol, to deny the catastrophic consequences of oil dependency, and to define the politics of oil as the politics of U.S. unilateralism, domination, and war.
Dead Heat argues that justice-not rhetoric and "aid" but real developmental justice...

"Como consecuencia del crecimiento del consumo de combustibles fósiles, las emisiones de dióxido de carbono aumentaron y aumentarán exponencialmente, y al mismo ritmo seguirán sus concentraciones en la atmósfera. El resultado es un calentamiento global que amenaza con la extinción de especies más devastadora de los últimos millones de años y que, de persistir por mucho tiempo, hará de la superficie de la Tierra algo muy distinto de lo que...

I pose many questions that I intentionally don't answer. I want you to do that. I want everyone reading this book to think about some of these concepts. This is about concepts for solutions long-term and sustainable. If we want our environment to once again flourish and our agriculture and development sectors to continue growing, we must develop a national water policy and let that guide us into the future.

THE ULTIMATUM IS IMPERATIVE- transform ourselves now or decline and perish as a result of the consequences of our own actions, a species suicide.
THE ULTIMATUM IS DUAL- we can produce our own extinction and that of other species through weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear, and/or environmental degradation, especially climate change.
The EQUILIBRA series begins with THE ULTIMATUM, the myriad ways Mother Earth is communicating to us the...

The first chapter emphasizes worldwide awareness of the relationship between climate change and disasters in the Asia Pacific region. The following chapters...

There has been a deliberate and orchestrated approach to promote the theory of human-made climate change initiated largely by the IPCC, which has created alarmist fears about climate and threats of global warming. All such predictions have been wrong and exaggerated and have used manipulated data to do this.
These claims have become a dominant theme in world politics aided by the vast funding available for so-called research but really for propaganda...

Things are going to get much worse, for a long time, whatever we now do — though hardly anyone wants to admit it. This book from the Green House collective offers climate honesty. The time for focusing primarily on mitigation is over. We now need to adapt to the dark reality of climate breakdown. But, this means...

Flocks of nice people, upset with how their baby blue planet was being messed with, marched and carried signs until these pranksters got so ashamed...
