Узнай все о влияние климата: факты и мифы.Нам редко приходится задумываться о том, что климат влияет на ход истории. Что послужило рождению трех великих цивилизаций древности — египетской, месопотамской и индо-харрапской? Как среднеглобальное падение температуры всего на полградуса заставило всех говорить о глобальном потеплении, таянии ледников, всемирном потопе?А знали ли вы о том, что Смуту, а перед ним «насчастное правление» Бориса Годунова породил резкий скачок климата — катастрофическое похолодание.

Il nostro pianeta è in pericolo, ben presto gli effetti del riscaldamento globale saranno irreversibili. Come siamo arrivati a questo punto? Di chi è la colpa?

Unendo approfondite competenze scientifiche a un inimitabile talento di narratore, che lo ha reso celebre in tutto il mondo, Frank Schätzing risponde a queste domande partendo dall'analisi del concetto di clima e di catastrofe ambientale, perché la regola numero uno di ogni guerra è "conosci il tuo nemico".

Hitzejahre, klirrende Kälte, Sturmfluten: Eindrucksvoll zeigt Ronald D. Gerste, wie langfristige Klimaveränderungen und einzelne Wetterereignisse sich auf die Gesellschaften und die Kulturen der Menschheit auswirkten und sogar den Verlauf der Geschichte beeinflussten.

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) ist bis heute einer der bedeutendsten Philosophen. Neben seinen großen Kritiken verfasste Kant auch Schriften zu Religion, Geschichte und Naturwissenschaften. Bis heute ist die sogenannte Kant-Laplace-Theorie die anerkannte Erklärung der Entstehung unseres Planetensystems. In seiner kleinen, wenig bekannten Schrift "Etwas über den Einfluß des Mondes auf die Witterung" untersucht Kant Lichtenbergs Zitat "Der Mond sollte zwar nicht auf die Witterung Einfluß haben; er hat aber doch Einfluß.

We all talk about them. We all plan our lives by them. We are all obsessed with the outlook ahead. The changing seasons have shaped all of our lives, but what happens when the weather changes beyond recognition? The author, Joe Shute, has spent years unpicking Britain’s long-standing love affair with the weather. He has pored over the literature, art and music our weather systems have inspired and trawled through centuries of established folklore to discover the curious customs and rituals we have created in response to the seasons.

Beware! The Earth teeters on the edge of disaster! A dire warning echoes through the corridors of time, urging swift action to halt the relentless march toward catastrophe. The stakes couldn't be higher: if we fail to curb population growth and rein in CO2 emissions, we face an unimaginable fate—a cataclysmic cascade of events that could decimate life on our planet, leaving only a fraction of species standing amidst the ruins. There's no time for debate; action is our only recourse. With each passing moment, the window of opportunity narrows, and the cost of inaction skyrockets. The signs...

The study revealed that rapid urbanisation has changed the world in many ways that result in several environmental problems and elevated occurrences of natural disasters. For instance, cities like New Delhi experience severe air pollution, extreme drought, deadly heatwaves in the dry season, and intense flooding in the wet season. This is mainly due to the fact that the cities converted stormwater percolation paths into impervious concrete, clay (roofs and tiles), asphalt, or tar and gravel structures. Due to this, natural percolation into the soil and groundwater aquifers fails. This ...

Danny and Lucy Bishop, a husband and wife team of scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research, were vacationing in Key West, Florida. They noticed that a hurricane named Zelda just off the coast of Florida was acting very strangely. It was traveling in loops not far from their hotel. They decided to call up a friend in the National Weather Service and get permission to fly on the next Hurricane Hunter flight to see what was going on. This led to an international adventure of flying on multiple planes and advising the President about heat beams.

Breathe in, are you sure the air is safe? Every fire tells a different story, but not every story gets a happy ending. This book reveals the invisible dangers hidden in everyday wood smoke, sawdust, and the logs you might bring home tonight. Forest fires and backyard burns don’t just warm hands; sometimes, they send clouds of toxic fallout across city blocks and quiet country roads. Some smoke drifts in loaded with dangerous chemicals, hidden poisons, or even radioactive dust sucked up from old factory soil and contaminated timber. Other times, deadly bacteria or unpredictable metals ride...

Who was this Rita Ten Grieve? Greenpeace operative? Point person for some mysterious, deep-state conspiracy or NOAA-led, wild-eyed crusade? Ghostly emissary from the datasphere, wherever that might be? Or just a crazy stalker, a crackpot on a mission? That’s what Jake Krimmer, Rita’s latest “client,” wants to know, as Rita coaxes him into playing her “little game of grieves.” Jake’s making a fortune by predicting the calamitous effects of “weird weather.” He’d sooner forswear beef, take cold showers, and drive around in a battery-powered go-kart than be subjected to ...

Das fossile System bröckelt. Ein Klima ohne Krise ist in Reichweite. Was es jetzt braucht: dass wir endlich unsere Abhängigkeit von CO2 verlernen – und zwar in allen Bereichen unseres Lebens. Denn das Treibhausgas steckt nicht nur in Gasheizungen und den Tanks unserer Autos. Es hat sich fest in unseren Vorstellungen von einem guten Leben eingenistet und bestimmt unseren Alltag: was wir morgens anziehen, warum wir arbeiten und wie wir abends essen.
