"Climate change has shaped life in the past and will continue to do so in the future. Understanding the interactions between climate and biodiversity is a complex challenge to science. With contributions from 60 key researchers, this book examines the ongoing impact of climate c…
Après la crise bancaire qui a ébranlé le monde et continue de le secouer, une véritable panique climatique a failli en amplifier les effets. Heureusement, à Copenhague, grâce aux pays du Sud soutenus par Barack Obama, le bon sens, au final, l'a emporté. Jusqu'à quand ? Sous la f…
Claude Allègre propose de revenir à une écologie positive, réaliste et constructive et fait des propositions qui sont en adéquation avec la réalité de notre monde. Les problèmes qui se posent à la Terre peuvent être résolus par l'innovation et les nouvelles techniques doivent en…
Journalist Christian Parenti examines the influence of extreme weather which is caused by global warming on unrest and violence in countries located along mid-latitudes and examines how sustainable living among the world's population could solve the problems.

This book explores the intermediate-term security risks that climate change may pose for the United States, its allies and partners, and for regional and global order through the year 2030. In profiles of forty-two key countries and regions, each contributor considers the proble…
Historically, climate fluctuations, such as the Little Ice Age, show that interglacial climate chage in not entirely stable, but responds to even subtle changes in radiative forcing. Through research, it has been made clear that even an abrupt change of climate within years is n…
Even with aggressive efforts to reduce greenhouse gases, the scientific consensus predicts that the Earth's temperatures will continue to rise for decades. Climbing temperatures are already having serious consequences for vulnerable people and regions through droughts, extreme w…
Argues that we need to start adapting to climate change, now and that these efforts should focus primarily on identifying the places and people most at risk and taking anticipatory action - from developing drought-resistant crops to building sea walls. Roundly rejects the idea t…
