Krig, klima og naturen – tre emner, der hver dag fylder vores nyheder. Med vores vestlige briller er der intet, der retfærdiggør et stort nabolands overfald på et mindre, og slet intet, der kan forklare rimeligheden i de tragedier, de mange tabte menneskeliv og de enorme ødelæggelser. Ødelæggelser forårsaget af ønsket om mere magt og ødelæggelser, der i langt højere grad end køernes CO2-udledninger påvirker vores klima. For forfatteren Svenning Svenningsen fylder disse tanker så meget, at han har nedfældet dem i ”Tanker om krig og klima” – en tankevækkende og ærlig digtsamling om de ting, der påvirker vores allesammens hverdag.

"A Kind Life takes readers on a personal journey, laying a pathway of how to live more kindly on the earth" —Keegan Kuhn, co-director of CowspiracyWhat does it mean to live a kind life? In this inspiring book, a mother-of-two provides a blueprint for how she and her family adopted a plant-based lifestyle, sharing the eye-opening facts that convinced her they needed to make a change.Carina Wohlleben grew up at nature’s doorstep, in a mountain lodge surrounded by forests and fields where her family grew vegetables and raised animals. Her father, the forester and bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Trees, taught her about the value of wilderness and the importance of preserving nature for everyone.But it wasn’t until she was a new mom that she had an epiphany about how her own daily habits were connected to the ecological crisis we are facing.After learning that we can reduce our environmental footprint by 25 percent simply by forgoing animal products, she transformed her life, adopting a vegan diet, rethinking all her travel and consumption choices, and rediscovering her connection to nature.Carina writes candidly about the challenges of making this transition as well as the health benefits she and her family noticed after cutting out animal products. She also addresses issues such as unsustainable agriculture and forestry practices, the environmental impact of our transportation and shopping choices, and how slowing down and making do with less is not only better for the planet but improves our own sense of belonging in nature.Carina's account of balancing motherhood with environmental choices is interspersed with profiles of young people around the world who are making a difference. This book is a must-read for anyone who is considering a change, and anyone who believes it’s not too late to save the planet.

The book documents the German climate movement in an era in which the global climate crisis is an ever-present topic. It tells the story of people who put their ideals first and cross moral and legal boundaries to campaign for more climate protection.For this project, photographer Tenzin Heatherbell delved deep into the world of climate activists: he participated in events, attended court hearings, met the activists in private during their preparations and after their actions. With his camera, Heatherbell was there every step of the way, becoming part of the inner circle while remaining a detached observer. He witnessed how more than 3,000 police officers removed climate protesters from Lützerath who had been occupying the village to prevent the expansion of the nearby open-cast mine. The photographer captured over forty of the Last Generation's highly controversial actions staged at museums, on highways, bridges, and airports.Supplemented by personal impressions and essays, Heatherbell has created a photographic portrait that provides insights into a world that is inaccessible to many people. His intimate look behind the scenes of the climate movement allows us to see other images than those supplied by the mass media. He explores the activists' motives and their rage at what they regard as the inertia of politics and society.

Our planet exists in an incredibly complex and delicate balance. Different ecosystems, plant and animal species, and the physical environment are all interconnected and interdependent. This complex harmony provides us with the resources we need to sustain life and creates an environment that can thrive.However, in recent decades, we have seen a serious decline in this balance, resulting in the emergence of two serious and interconnected crises: climate change and biodiversity loss. These two issues are among the greatest challenges facing the world today, and they must be addressed together.Climate change is defined as an increase in the average global temperature of the Earth. This increase is primarily caused by human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases produced by the burning of fossil fuels. These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, causing temperatures to rise around the world.The impacts of climate change are widespread and destructive. They include:· More extreme weather events, such as heat waves, droughts, floods, and storms· Rising sea levels, which threaten coastal communities and infrastructure· Changes in agricultural yields, which could lead to food insecurity· Loss of biodiversity, which threatens the functioning of ecosystemsBiodiversity loss, also known as species extinction, is the decline in the number and variety of living things on Earth. It is caused by a variety of factors, including habitat loss, overexploitation, and climate change.The loss of biodiversity is a serious threat to the planet. It can lead to:· Destabilization of ecosystems, which can lead to the collapse of food chains and other important ecological processes· Loss of ecosystem services, such as pollination and pest control, which are essential for human well-being· Reduced resilience to shocks and stresses, such as climate changeClimate change and biodiversity loss are two sides of the same coin. They are both caused by human activities, and they both have a devastating impact on the planet. It is essential that we address these two crises together if we want to create a sustainable future for our planet.Here are some additional points that could be included in the English translation:· A more detailed explanation of the interconnectedness of climate change and biodiversity loss. This could include a discussion of how climate change is causing habitat loss and extinction, and how biodiversity loss is making it more difficult for the planet to adapt to climate change.

Climate change and its impact on agricultural practicesClimate change is a global issue that is having a profound impact on agriculture. Rising temperatures, changes in precipitation patterns, and more extreme weather events can all reduce crop yields, increase food insecurity, and increase the risk of foodborne illness.Impact on crop production· Increased temperatures: Rising temperatures are not favorable for some crops and can negatively impact their growth and production. For example, major cereal crops such as wheat and rice are sensitive to heat stress, which can lead to reduced yields.· Changes in precipitation patterns: Irregular precipitation patterns, increasing frequency of droughts, and flooding events can disrupt agricultural production. Insufficient rainfall can lead to crop failure, while excessive rainfall can damage crops and increase soil erosion.· More extreme weather events: Extreme weather events such as cyclones, storms, and floods can destroy crops, damage farms, and jeopardize the livelihoods of farmers.Increased risk of foodborne illnessClimate change can also contribute to the increasing risk of foodborne illness. Rising temperatures can promote the growth and spread of pathogens, which can contaminate food and make people sick. Additionally, extreme weather events can disrupt food supply chains and impact food storage and transportation, which can increase the risk of food safety.Mitigation strategiesThere are a number of mitigation strategies that can be used to reduce the impact of climate change on agriculture. These include:· Adapting agricultural practices: Farmers can adapt their practices to the changing climate by selecting more heat-tolerant crops, using irrigation more efficiently, and diversifying their crop rotations.· Investing in research and development: Research and development are needed to develop new agricultural technologies that are more resilient to climate change.Promoting sustainable agriculture: Sustainable agricultural practices, such as agroecology, can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build resilience to climate change

"An account of the skills that are necessary both for individuals to flourish in the twenty-first century and for societies to approach sustainability"--Provided by publisher"--

Le changement climatique est la question scientifique la plus importante de notre époque, catalysant de profonds changements sociaux en fonction de la perception que nous en avons. De nombreux ouvrages expliquent ce que nous savons déjà sur le changement climatique. Ce livre explore ce que nous admettons ne pas comprendre à ce sujet. Ce faisant, il révèle un mécanisme du changement climatique jusqu'ici ignoré, qui opère en arrière-plan et échappe à l'examen minutieux des théories et des modèles climatiques. Ce phénomène se manifeste clairement dans de nombreuses études climatiques, apportant un nouvel éclairage sur le changement climatique qui justifie une réévaluation critique de nombreuses conclusions présentées dans les rapports du GIEC.Quelle que soit votre position sur le changement climatique ou votre familiarité avec sa science, ce livre offre une richesse de connaissances et un changement profond dans notre compréhension de la dynamique qui régit la variabilité climatique. Avec 134 illustrations, ce livre vise à rendre la science du climat accessible à un large public, et seul vous, lecteur, pourrez déterminer en fin de compte dans quelle mesure il atteint son objectif.

Never has the reality of climate change and its ramifications been so obvious around the world. Humankind is currently living in times when the reality of global climate change is unequivocal. The recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change AR6 report further depicts the veracity of climate change by highlighting historically changing patterns of precipitation and temperature across the world, amidst heightened and varied levels of vulnerability around the world. This book is planned along the increasingly complex and daunting nature of climate change. The broad scope is intentional and aims at eliciting scholarship from across the globe and from varied areas of climate change research. Thus, as varied and broad as the intentions are, so too are the book¿s contents. The thirteen peer-reviewed chapters are organized into four sections. Section 1 introduces the concept of climate change and other global perspectives and trends. Section 2 focuses on climate risk, resilience, and vulnerability. Section 3 explores varied perspectives on climate risks, sensitivity, and exposure with a focus on monitoring and assessment. Finally, Section 4 explores climate change adaptation and mitigation. The multidisciplinary nature of this book will appeal to a varied readership including governments, municipal authorities, and daily grassroots users of environmental resources.
