| Zusammenfassung: | An insightful and inspiring collection of essays from some of the foremost thinkers on climate change. Not to be missed.' Mark Lynas, author of High Tide (Flamingo/HarperCollins, 2004) 'A visionary and hopeful book -- an essential survival guide in turbulent times.' Caroline Lucas, Green Party MEP for South East England Climate change is a pressing reality. From hurricane Katrina to melting polar ice, and from mass extinctions to increased threats to food and water security, the link between corporate globalisation and planetary blowback is becoming all too evident. Governments and business keep reassuring the public they are going to fix the problem. This book brings together some leading activists who disagree. They expose the inertia, denial, deception -- even threats to our civil liberties -- which comprise mainstream responses from civil and military policy makers, and from opinion formers in the media, corporations and academia. An epochal change is called for in the way we all engage with the climate crisis. Key to that change is Aubrey Meyer's proposed 'Contraction and Convergence' framework for limiting global carbon emissions. This book, which also includes contributions by Mayer Hillman and George Marshall, is a powerful and vital guide to how mass mobilisation can avert the looming catastrophe. |

Not to be missed.' Mark Lynas, author of High Tide (Flamingo/HarperCollins, 2004) 'A visionary and hopeful book -- an essential survival guide in turbulent times.' Caroline Lucas, Green Party MEP for South East England Climate change is a pressing reality. From hurricane Katrina to melting polar ice, and from mass extinctions to increased threats to food and water security, the link between corporate globalisation and planetary blowback is becoming all too evident. Governments and business keep reassuring the public they are going to fix the problem. This book brings together some leading activists who disagree. They expose the inertia, denial, deception -- even threats to our civil liberties -- which comprise mainstream responses from civil and military policy makers, and from opinion formers in the media, corporations and academia. An epochal change is called for in the way we all engage with the climate crisis. Key to that change is Aubrey Meyer's proposed 'Contraction and Convergence' framework for limiting global carbon emissions. This book, which also includes contributions by Mayer Hillman and George Marshall, is a powerful and vital guide to how mass mobilisation can avert the looming catastrophe.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="546" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">English.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Climatic changes.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Climatic changes</subfield><subfield code="x">Government policy.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2006006266</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Climatic changes</subfield><subfield code="x">Social aspects.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Climatic changes</subfield><subfield code="x">Prevention.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Climate Change</subfield><subfield code="0">https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D057231</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Climat</subfield><subfield code="x">Changements.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Climat</subfield><subfield code="x">Changements</subfield><subfield code="x">Aspect social.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">climate change.</subfield><subfield code="2">aat</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING</subfield><subfield code="x">Environmental</subfield><subfield code="x">Pollution Control.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">BUSINESS & ECONOMICS</subfield><subfield code="x">Development</subfield><subfield code="x">Sustainable Development.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Climatic changes</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Climatic changes</subfield><subfield code="x">Government policy</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Climatic changes</subfield><subfield code="x">Social aspects</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Treibhauseffekt</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4226436-4</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Anthropogene Klimaänderung</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4290733-0</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Klimaschutz</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Treibhausgas</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4438735-0</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Emissionsverringerung</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4113432-1</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Festschriften</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Festschriften.</subfield><subfield code="2">lcgft</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2016026082</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Cromwell, David,</subfield><subfield code="d">1962-</subfield><subfield code="e">editor.</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJxcWfwHkgtwb8BJGRGJXd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nb2001062775</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Levene, Mark,</subfield><subfield code="d">1953-</subfield><subfield code="e">editor.</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJqVQTct3RyV3yvTGbf6rq</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n91126274</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">Surviving climate change (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCGjqHJW448JPpv9yqC4g8C</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="t">Surviving climate change.</subfield><subfield code="d">London ;
