Hardback. Condizione: New. From the scientist 'transforming our understanding of how human-caused global heating is affecting the planet' (The Guardian) comes a bracing investigation into extreme weather's impact on the world's most vulnerable. For fans of Naomi Klein and Greta Thunberg.Climate change concerns everyone, but it does not affect us all equally. In this gripping, provocative manifesto, climate scientist Friederike Otto makes the case that the world's most vulnerable populations are the most at risk of being impacted by climate change-though they did the least to cause it.Comparing eight extreme weather events-including heat waves in North America, floods in Pakistan, droughts in Madagascar, and wildfires in Australia-Otto shows how global inequality is exacerbating the effects of climate change and exposes uncomfortable truths about the failures of political and social infrastructures around the world. In particular, Otto examines the Global North's extractionist view of the Global South, a view that ensures elites are protected while others bear the brunt of climate disasters.An engrossing, deeply moving book, Climate Injustice shares the stories of real people, shining a light on the real damage extreme weather events inflict on real lives. Importantly, it shows how racism, colonialism, sexism, and climate change are interconnected, and how positive changes on one level can lead to positive effects on another. Authored by the co-founder of World Weather Attribution, a cutting-edge scientific method that pinpoints the role of climate change in extreme weather events, Climate Injustice offers a groundbreaking view on the fires, floods, heatwaves, and storms that are wreaking havoc at an alarming pace-as well as an essential change in perspective for how we might finally solve this crisis together.Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. From one of the world's most celebrated thinkers on climate change comes a groundbreaking investigation into extreme weather.Climate change does not affect everyone equally. While many scientists focus on studying climate change as a physics problem, Friederike Otto, one of the world's most renowned climate scientists, sees it as a symptom of the global crisis of inequality, not its cause. In this ambitious, fast-paced book, she offers concrete examples of how extreme weather events caused by climate change reveal uncomfortable truths about the failures of political and social infrastructures around the world.Comparing eight extreme weather events including heat waves in North America, floods in Pakistan, droughts in Madagascar, and wildfires in Australia Otto reveals how climate change is affecting the world's most vulnerable, whether they are women working on farms in Ghana during heat waves, or elderly people who died during floods in Germany. In particular, Otto examines the Global North's extractionist view of the Global South, a view that ensures elites are protected while others bear the brunt of the climate disaster.Climate Injustice shares the stories of real people, shining a light on the real damage inflicted on real lives. Above all, it shows how racism, colonialism, sexism, and climate change are interconnected, and how positive changes on one level can lead to positive effects on another. Authored by the co-founder of World Weather Attribution, a cutting-edge scientific method that pinpointed the role of climate change in extreme weather events for the first time, Climate Injustice offers a groundbreaking view on the fires, floods, heatwaves, and storms that are wreaking havoc at an alarming pace.Inequality and injustice are at the core of what makes climate change a problem for humanity. Fairness and global justice must therefore be at the core of the solution. Climate justice concerns everyone.'I can't recommend this book highly enough. It will change how you think about the most important story of our time.' Jeff Goodell, New York Times bestselling author of The Heat Will Kill You First'Searing in her clarity. Fredi Otto demonstrates, irrefutably, how the North's fossil-fuel-powered "extractivist" economic model drives global climate disruption at the expense of the living world. Climate Injustice prosecutes the case; all it needs now is a courtroom, preferably in The Hague.'
