Abstract

The changes in climate affected especially the Alps during the past 20,000 years. In this book more than 20 experts from different fields present the current state of climate research in Austria, starting from the last ice age until the current climate warming. In the early Holocene human activities were driven by the climate while in modern societies climate change is driven to an increasing amount by human activities. Undoubtedly the Alps where much more affected by climate change than many other regions of the world, but still the authors dare to look ahead into the future.

Abstract

Climate change is acknowledged to be the major problem currently facing the human race, and the need to reduce our carbon footprint becomes ever more urgent as the scientific predictions of the effects of climate change become increasingly dire. Whether we are fully aware of the social and political consequences of striving for a significant reduction is more questionable. The Carbon Footprint Wars identifies the many dangers inherent in the projected solutions - such as retreating from the spread of globalization, the current socio-economic paradigm for world trade. The war of words that is b

Abstract

""The real fault line in American politics is not between liberals and conservatives.... It is, rather, in how we orient ourselves to the generations to come who will bear the consequences, for better and for worse, of our actions."" So writes David Orr in Down to the Wire, a sober and eloquent assessment of climate destabilization and an urgent call to action. Orr describes how political negligence, an economy based on the insatiable consumption of trivial goods, and a disdain for the well-being of future generations have brought us to the tipping point that biologist Edward O. Wilson calls "

Abstract

De kwantitatieve doelen van het Klimaatverdrag en het Kyoto Protocol om emissies van broeikasgassen te beperken zijn volgens recente wetenschappelijke inzichten onvoldoende om een verandering van het klimaat op aarde te voorkomen, en dat geldt naar verwachting eveneens voor nieuwe doelen waarover op dit moment wordt onderhandeld. Het is dan ook noodzakelijk voor landen om zich aan te passen aan klimaatverandering, waaronder een stijging van de zeespiegel. In tegenstelling tot ontwikkelde landen, zoals Nederland, bezitten veel ontwikkelingslanden niet over de technische, economische en bestuurl
