Дэвид Уоллес-Уэллс — новинки

Всё намного хуже, чем вы думаете. Глобальное потепление уже меняет наш мир до неузнаваемости, и его последствия будут становиться только серьезнее и страшнее. Потопы, пожары, голод и войны — это лишь малая часть того, что нас ждет даже по оптимистичным прогнозам. Журналист Дэвид Уоллес-Уэллс провел масштабное исследование и узнал, как именно потепление повлияет на наши жизни в ближайшем (и далеком) будущем. На сколько градусов разогреется планета за следующие десять лет? Уйдут ли Санкт-Петербург и другие европейские города под воду? Смогут ли технологии спасти человечество?
«Необитаемая Земля» — бестселлер The New York Times и книга года по версии The New Yorker, The Economist, Time, GQ и многих других изданий. После ее прочтения не остается сомнений: мир на пороге катастрофы, в которую человечество упорно отказывается верить.

Die heute schon spürbaren und die schlimmstmöglichen Folgen der Klimaerwärmung sind das Thema des Journalisten David Wallace-Wells in diesem spektakulären Report. Wie kann und wird das Leben auf der Erde in nur 40, 50, 60 Jahren aussehen? Sicher ist: Heutige Teenager und Kinder werden noch erleben, wie sich die Bedingungen für die Menschheit auf der Erde dramatisch verschlechtern, sie werden erleben, wie sie in Teilen unbewohnbar wird. Wallace-Wells macht die vielen wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse, die die Mehrheit der Menschen oft gar nicht erreichen, begreifbar, ja fühlbar. Und am Ende steht die drängende Frage: Haben wir überhaupt noch eine Chance, das Unheil abzuwenden? Ein polarisierendes, aufrüttelndes und fesselndes Debattenbuch zu einem Thema, das der Menschheit zunehmend unter den Nägeln brennt.

Brought to you by Penguin. It is worse, much worse, than you think. The slowness of climate change is a fairy tale, perhaps as pernicious as the one that says it isn't happening at all, and if your anxiety about it is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible, even within the lifetime of a teenager today.

Over the past decades, the term 'Anthropocene' has climbed into the popular imagination - a name given to the geologic era we live in now, one defined by human intervention in the life of the planet.

But however sanguine you might be about the proposition that we have ravaged the natural world, which we surely have, it is another thing entirely to consider the possibility that we have only provoked it, engineering first in ignorance and then in denial a climate system that will now go to war with us for many centuries, perhaps until it destroys us.

In the meantime, it will remake us, transforming every aspect of the way we live - the planet no longer nurturing a dream of abundance but a living nightmare. Written and read by David Wallace-Wells, The Uninhabitable Earth is a powerful examination of the world we find ourselves in.

It is worse, much worse, than you think. If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible. In California, wildfires now rage year-round, destroying thousands of homes. Across the US, "500-year" storms pummel communities month after month, and floods displace tens of millions annually.

This is only a preview of the changes to come. And they are coming fast. Without a revolution in how billions of humans conduct their lives, parts of the Earth could become close to uninhabitable, and other parts horrifically inhospitable, as soon as the end of this century.

In his travelogue of our near future, David Wallace-Wells brings into stark relief the climate troubles that await--food shortages, refugee emergencies, and other crises that will reshape the globe. But the world will be remade by warming in more profound ways as well, transforming our politics, our culture, our relationship to technology, and our sense of history. It will be all-encompassing, shaping and distorting nearly every aspect of human life as it is lived today.

Like An Inconvenient Truth and Silent Spring before it, The Uninhabitable Earth is both a meditation on the devastation we have brought upon ourselves and an impassioned call to action. For just as the world was brought to the brink of catastrophe within the span of a lifetime, the responsibility to avoid it now belongs to a single generation.
