Description

Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, humans have become weather makers. As we fuel our activities, we create ozone-destroying chemicals and greenhouse gases that have altered global weather patterns and increased the potential for extreme weather events. Now, for the first time, a scientist provides an accessible and comprehensive account of the history, current status, and future impact of climate change. The enormity of what Flannery projects is hard to imagine, but his clear prose and well substantiated theories leaves little doubt to any open-minded reader. Description in Con su best-seller internacional La amenaza del cambio climatico, Tim Flannery logro cambiar la opinion y la actitud de mucha gente hacia el calentamiento global. El clima esta en nuestras manos es una nueva edicion concisa y revisada de su libro anterior, con la que busca acercar la realidad del cambio climatico a lectores de nueve a noventa y nueve anos. En este apasionante libro, Tim Flannery habla de ciclones y sequias, de arrecifes de coral y osos polares, de energia eolica y energia nuclear… Nos recuerda que el clima nos une a todos -desde al Ãrtico hasta el desierto australiano-, y que influimos decisivamente en el mediante el uso de nuestros combustibles, nuestra agua y nuestra tierra. Nosotros provocamos el cambio climatico.
