Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring In the last
few years global awareness of climate change has grown very rapidly
- through the school strikes led by Greta Thunberg, groups like
Extinction Rebellion, the IPCC's recent high impact reports, tv
documentaries, and declarations from governments around the world
that we are in a climate emergency. This awareness is continuing to
grow, as the science shows us that our planet and our species are
facing a massive crisis, which we ourselves have caused. Climate
change is one of the few scientific theories that make us examine
the whole basis of modern society. It is a challenge that has
politicians arguing, sets nations against each other, queries
individual lifestyle choices, and ultimately asks questions about
humanity's relationship with the rest of the planet. This Very
Short Introduction draws on the very latest science from the 2021
IPCC Report, examining the evidence that climate change is already
happening, and discussing its potential catastrophic impacts in the
future. Mark Maslin also explores the geopolitics of climate change
and the win-win solutions we can employ to avoid the very worst
effects of climate change. Throughout, he demonstrates how we must
develop new modes of thinking for the 21st century at individual,
corporate, and government levels to collectively tackle the
challenge of climate change. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short
Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds
of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books
are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our
expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and
enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly
readable.
