CLIMATE CRISIS, CLIMATE GENOCIDE & SOLUTIONS is the ultimate climate bible that thoroughly documents the acute seriousness of the worsening climate emergency. Widespread speciescide and ecocide are pushing the Earth towards omnicide and terracide. At the very heart of this deadly problem we find neoliberal greed, egregious inequity, and ruthless mendacity. Unless we adopt Gideon Polya ́s solutions, it is inevitable that we are en route to a sustainable population in 2100 of about 1 billion people. Dr. Gideon Polya is a Melbourne-based biochemist, writer, humanitarian activist, and artist. Over the last two decades, he has published numerous articles on the human consequences of neoliberalism, war, mainstream media deception, and climate change. Evidently, as a consequence of his carefully researched writing, he has been honored by being rendered invisible in look-the-other-way, US-dominated Australia.

Climate change caused by human activity is the most fundamental challenge facing mankind in the 21st century, since it will drastically alter the living conditions of millions of people, mainly in the Global South. Environmental violence, including resource crises such as peak fossil fuel, will lie at the heart of future conflicts. However, Genocide Studies have so far neglected this subject, due to the emphasis that traditional genocide scholarship places on ideology and legal prosecution, leading to a narrow understanding of the driving forces of genocide. This books aims at changing this, initiating a dialogue between scholars working in the areas of climate change and genocide. Research into genocide as well as climate change is a highly interdisciplinary endeavour, transcending the boundaries of established disciplines. Contributions to this book address this by approaching the subject from a wide array of methodological, theoretical, disciplinary and regional perspectives. As all the contributions show, climate change is a major threat multiplier for violence or non-violent destruction and any understanding of prevention needs to take this into account. They offer a basis for much needed Critical Prevention Studies, which aims at sustainable prevention. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Human Rights.

Unstable Ground looks at the human impact of climate change and its potential to provoke some of the most troubling crimes against humanity—ethnic conflict, war, and genocide. Alex Alvarez provides an essential overview of what science has shown to be true about climate change and examines how our warming world will challenge and stress societies and heighten the risk of mass violence. Drawing on a number of recent and historic examples, including Darfur, Syria, and the current migration crisis, this book illustrates the thorny intersections of climate change and violence. The author doesn’t claim causation but makes a compelling case that changing environmental circumstances can be a critical factor in facilitating violent conflict. As research suggests climate change will continue and accelerate, understanding how it might contribute to violence is essential in understanding how to prevent it.

Despite the urgent need for action, climate change remains a highly politicized issue. There are many competing interests and perspectives, and it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction. This book, Climate Crisis: The Science and Solutions, aims to provide a clear and accessible overview of the science of climate change and the solutions that are available to us. In this book, we explore the science behind climate change, including the evidence for global warming, the causes and consequences of climate change, and the potential future impacts. We also examine the range of solutions that are available to us, from renewable energy and energy efficiency to sustainable land use practices and conservation efforts. One of the key messages of this book is that addressing the climate crisis requires a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach. There is no one solution that can solve the problem alone. Instead, we need to take a holistic approach that combines policies, technologies, and individual actions. We also recognize that addressing the climate crisis is not just a matter of science and technology. It is also a matter of social justice and equity. The impacts of climate change are not distributed equally, with those who are most vulnerable often being the hardest hit. It is therefore essential that we take a just and equitable approach to addressing the climate crisis, one that takes into account the needs and perspectives of all members of society. This book is intended for a broad audience, from students and educators to policymakers and concerned citizens. Our hope is that this book will provide a solid foundation of knowledge about the science of climate change and the range of solutions that are available to us. We also hope that this book will inspire action and encourage readers to become part of the solution. The challenges posed by climate change are significant, but we believe that they can be overcome. By working together and taking action, we can create a more sustainable, equitable, and just future for ourselves and for future generations.

A provocative contribution to the climate justice debate Climate change and justice are so closely associated that many people take it for granted that a global climate treaty should—indeed, must—directly address both issues together. But, in fact, this would be a serious mistake, one that, by dooming effective international limits on greenhouse gases, would actually make the world's poor and developing nations far worse off. This is the provocative and original argument of Climate Change Justice. Eric Posner and David Weisbach strongly favor both a climate change agreement and efforts to improve economic justice. But they make a powerful case that the best—and possibly only—way to get an effective climate treaty is to exclude measures designed to redistribute wealth or address historical wrongs against underdeveloped countries. In clear language, Climate Change Justice proposes four basic principles for designing the only kind of climate treaty that will work—a forward-looking agreement that requires every country to make greenhouse-gas reductions but still makes every country better off in its own view. This kind of treaty has the best chance of actually controlling climate change and improving the welfare of people around the world.

Climate Crisis: Understanding the Science and Solutions by Marlowe Sinclair delves into the critical issue of climate change, presenting a thorough examination of the science behind the phenomenon and the urgent need for solutions. This comprehensive guide explores how greenhouse gases, primarily water vapor and carbon dioxide, create the greenhouse effect that warms our planet and sustains life. However, human activities over the past century have intensified this effect, leading to global warming and climate instability. Sinclair eloquently explains how the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and land-use changes have significantly increased greenhouse gas concentrations, driving climate change and its devastating impacts. From severe weather events to health crises and agricultural disruptions, the consequences are both widespread and alarming. Citing the latest National Climate Assessment, Sinclair underscores the urgency of addressing climate change to protect our national assets and ecosystems. This book is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the science of climate change and the vital steps needed to mitigate its effects.

Shortlisted for the FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year award A renowned climate scientist shows how fossil fuel companies have waged a thirty-year campaign to deflect blame and responsibility and delay action on climate change, and offers a battle plan for how we can save the planet. Recycle. Fly less. Eat less meat. These are some of the ways that we've been told can slow climate change. But the inordinate emphasis on individual behavior is the result of a marketing campaign that has succeeded in placing the responsibility for fixing climate change squarely on the shoulders of individuals. Fossil fuel companies have followed the example of other industries deflecting blame (think "guns don't kill people, people kill people") or greenwashing (think of the beverage industry's "Crying Indian" commercials of the 1970s). Meanwhile, they've blocked efforts to regulate or price carbon emissions, run PR campaigns aimed at discrediting viable alternatives, and have abdicated their responsibility in fixing the problem they've created. The result has been disastrous for our planet. In The New Climate War, Mann argues that all is not lost. He draws the battle lines between the people and the polluters-fossil fuel companies, right-wing plutocrats, and petrostates. And he outlines a plan for forcing our governments and corporations to wake up and make real change, including: A common-sense, attainable approach to carbon pricing- and a revision of the well-intentioned but flawed currently proposed version of the Green New Deal; Allowing renewable energy to compete fairly against fossil fuels Debunking the false narratives and arguments that have worked their way into the climate debate and driven a wedge between even those who support climate change solutions Combatting climate doomism and despair-mongering With immensely powerful vested interests aligned in defense of the fossil fuel status quo, the societal tipping point won't happen without the active participation of citizens everywhere aiding in the collective push forward. This book will reach, inform, and enable citizens everywhere to join this battle for our planet.

Struggles over drinking water, new outbreaks of mass violence, ethnic cleansing, civil wars in the earth's poorest countries, endless flows of refugees: these are the new conflicts and forces shaping the world of the 21st century. They no longer hinge on ideological rivalries between great powers but rather on issues of class, religion and resources. The genocides of the last century have taught us how quickly social problems can spill over into radical and deadly solutions. Rich countries are already developing strategies to garner resources and keep 'climate refugees' at bay. In this major book Harald Welzer shows how climate change and violence go hand in hand. Climate change has far-reaching consequences for the living conditions of peoples around the world: inhabitable spaces shrink, scarce resources become scarcer, injustices grow deeper, not only between North and South but also between generations, storing up material for new social tensions and giving rise to violent conflicts, civil wars and massive refugee flows. Climate change poses major new challenges in terms of security, responsibility and justice, but as Welzer makes disturbingly clear, very little is being done to confront them. The paperback edition includes a new Preface that brings the book up to date and addresses the most recent developments and trends.

Ending poverty and stabilizing climate change will be two unprecedented global achievements and two major steps toward sustainable development. But the two objectives cannot be considered in isolation: they need to be jointly tackled through an integrated strategy. This report brings together those two objectives and explores how they can more easily be achieved if considered together. It examines the potential impact of climate change and climate policies on poverty reduction. It also provides guidance on how to create a “win-win†? situation so that climate change policies contribute to poverty reduction and poverty-reduction policies contribute to climate change mitigation and resilience building. The key finding of the report is that climate change represents a significant obstacle to the sustained eradication of poverty, but future impacts on poverty are determined by policy choices: rapid, inclusive, and climate-informed development can prevent most short-term impacts whereas immediate pro-poor, emissions-reduction policies can drastically limit long-term ones.
