With the help of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide to certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only explains why we need to work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases, but also details what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal.\u003cbr\u003e\nHe gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation and what it takes to get new ideas into the market, he describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how the current technology can be made to function more effectively, where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essential innovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete, practical plan for achieving the goal of zero emissions—suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers, and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but if we follow the plan he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bill Gates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44216417485048,"sku":"9780593081853","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/4897\/5608\/files\/9780593081853.jpg?v=1701211487"},{"product_id":"the-end-of-eden-wild-nature-in-the-age-of-climate-breakdown","title":"The End of Eden: Wild Nature in the Age of Climate Breakdown","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew Yorker Best Book of the Year\u003cbr\u003e\n“Exquisite.”―DAVID WALLACE-WELLS “At once an elegy and an exhortation.”―ELIZABETH KOLBERT “A book that goes deeper than any before into the meaning of the climate breakdown for all the rest of creation.”―BILL McKIBBEN “Celebratory and heartbreaking.”―DAVID GEORGE HASKELL\u003cbr\u003e\nA revelatory exploration of climate change from the perspective of wild species and natural ecosystems--an homage to the miraculous, vibrant entity that is life on Earth.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe stories we usually tell ourselves about climate change tend to focus on the damage inflicted on human societies by big storms, severe droughts, and rising sea levels. But the most powerful impacts are being and will be felt by the natural world and its myriad species, which are already in the midst of the sixth great extinction. Rising temperatures are fracturing ecosystems that took millions of years to evolve, disrupting the life forms they sustain--and in many cases driving them towards extinction. The natural Eden that humanity inherited is quickly slipping away.\u003cbr\u003e\nAlthough we can never really know what a creature thinks or feels, The End of Eden invites the reader to meet wild species on their own terms in a range of ecosystems that span the globe. Combining classic natural history, firsthand reportage, and insights from cutting-edge research, Adam Welz brings us close to creatures like moose in northern Maine, parrots in Puerto Rico, cheetahs in Namibia, and rare fish in Australia as they struggle to survive. The stories are intimate yet expansive and always dramatic.\u003cbr\u003e\nAn exquisitely written and deeply researched exploration of wild species reacting to climate breakdown, The End of Eden offers a radical new kind of environmental journalism that connects humans to nature in a more empathetic way than ever before and galvanizes us to act in defense of the natural world before it’s too late.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adam Welz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44216439800056,"sku":"9781635575224","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/4897\/5608\/files\/9781635575224.jpg?v=1701211858"}],"url":"https:\/\/ellector.com.pa\/es\/collections\/nonfiction-science-global-warming-climate-change.oembed","provider":"Librerías El Lector Panamá","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
