The result of this is that, during the lifetime of your grandchildren, the sweeping aside of human civilisation through a succession of climate wars will become assured. By 2100 humanity, battered by an array of catastrophic climate disasters,...

Advocates and teachers often find it difficult to communicate the complexities of climate change, because the people they are trying to reach hold so many mistaken assumptions. They assume, for example, that when climate change becomes an obvious threat to our everyday lives, there will still be time enough to make changes that will avoid disaster. Yet at that point it will be too late. Or they assume we can use our current paradigms and policy tools to find solutions. Yet the approaches that caused damage in the first place will cause even more damage in the future.

Climate change will bring about significant changes to the capacity of, and the demand on,
water resources. The resulting changes include increasing climate variability that is expected
to affect hydrologic conditions. The effects of climate variability on various meteorological
variables have been extensively observed in many regions around the world. Atmospheric
circulation, topography, land use and other regional features modify global changes to
produce unique patterns of change at the regional scale. As the future changes to these water
resources...

This book discusses key issues concerning water, energy and food in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It provides an interdisciplinary account of current developments in the most water-scarce and conflict-torn region in the world. Key analysts on MENA water, agriculture and energy affairs have been drawn together to compile one of the first edited volumes dedicated to the crucial role of water, energy and food security in the 21st century MENA region. It will be of interest to decision-makers, analysts and students of the future of the Middle East from a broad range of...

Just as World War II called an earlier generation to greatness, so the climate crisis is calling today's rising youth to action: to create a better future.

In UNSTOPPABLE, Bill Nye crystallizes and expands the message for which he is best known and beloved. That message is that with a combination of optimism and scientific curiosity, all obstacles become opportunities, and the possibilities of our world become limitless. With a scientist's thirst for knowledge and an engineer's vision of what can be, Bill Nye sees today's environmental issues not as insurmountable, depressing...
