The Terranauts / by Boyle, T. Coraghessan,author.;
1994. In the desert near Tillman, Arizona, forty miles from Tucson, a grand experiment involving the future of humanity is underway. As climate change threatens the earth, eight scientists, four men and four women dubbed the "Terranauts," have been selected to live under glass in E2, a prototype of a possible off-earth colony. Closely monitored by an all-seeing Mission Control, this New Eden is both an adventure in scientific discovery and a momentous publicity stunt. The Terranauts face increased scrutiny and a host of disasters, both natural and of their own making.

Climatenomics : Washington, Wall Street, and the economic battle to save our planet / by Keefe, Bob,1966-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.(Climate) Change Happens -- Drowning Chickens, Soaked Marines, Bomb Cyclones, -- and Paradise Lost -- The Foundation of a New Economy -- Reality, Intruding -- Beyond Business as Usual -- A Crisis of Crises -- Climate Cabinet -- The (Business) Plan to Build Back Better -- Markets, Signaled -- From Sacrifice to Shared Prosperity -- Following the Money -- Politics, Jobs, and Saving the Planet -- The World and All of U.S. -- What We Don't (and Do) Know."The battle against climate change is no longer just an environmental or social issue. As shareholders demand corporations protect assets against climate change and the economic impact of environmental disasters suck billions of dollars out of the economy, capitalism itself has become an ally. The economic impact of climate change is rattling the foundation of our economy at its very core. It's blowing up centuries-old industries from automobiles to oil and gas, creating new opportunities for investors and entrepreneurs. It's costing Americans billions of dollars each and every year. And most importantly, it's forcing politicians to pass long-overdue policies that will transform our businesses, our lives and our future like never before. The good news about this economic earthquake is that it just might be the thing that saves our planet. This is the first book to lay out how climate change has become an economic issue above all and how that has changed everything from the business to politics to the outlook for the future. Bob Keefe, executive director of E2, a national, nonpartisan organization dedicated to providing business perspectives on environmental issues, shows readers how this new reality will impact their industries, businesses, jobs, and communities and transform our country's economy. Climatenomics will be essential reading for anyone who cares about business, politics, or the future of our planet"--
