What's left : three paths through the planetary crisis / by Harris, Malcolm,author.(CARDINAL)603321;
Includes bibliographical references (pages pages 265-285) and index."Climate change is the unifying crisis of our time. But the scale of the problem can be paralyzing, especially when corporations are actively staving off changes that could save the planet but which might threaten their bottom lines. To quote Greta Thunberg, despite very clear science and very real devastation, the adults at the table are still saying "blah blah blah." Something has to change--but what, and how? In What's Left, Malcolm Harris cuts through the noise and gets real about our remaining options for saving the world. Just as humans have caused climate change, we hold the power to avert a climate apocalypse, but that will only happen through collective political action. Harris outlines the three strategies--progressive, socialist, and revolutionary--that have any chance of succeeding, while also revealing that none of them can succeed on their own. What's Left shows how we must combine them into a single pathway: a meta-strategy, one that will ensure we can move forward together rather than squabbling over potential solutions while the world burns."--Amazon.

The winds of change : climate, weather, and the destruction of civilizations / by Linden, Eugene.(CARDINAL)158008;
A matter of emphasis -- The deep past : climate as creator -- Destroyer -- The first victim -- Weapons of mass destruction : disease, migration, conflict, and famine -- Empty promises of water : the collapse of the Mayans -- The Little Ice Age : five hundred years of climate chaos -- Climate comes into focus -- The gears of global climate -- Proxy wars I : ice -- Proxy wars II : mud -- The mystery of Tell Leilan -- Scorched Earth -- Is it Little Ice Age, or ages? -- El Niño : how it works -- El Niño meets empire -- A taste of things to come? -- The tides of public opinion -- Water moving through water -- Going forward -- Chronology : the accelerating pace of climate change and scientific discovery.Climate has been humanity's constant, if moody, companion. At times benefactor or tormentor, climate nurtured the first stirrings of civilization and then repeatedly visited ruin on empires and peoples. Environmental journalist Linden reveals a recurring pattern in which civilizations become prosperous and complacent during good weather, only to collapse when climate changes--either through its direct effects, such as floods or drought, or indirect consequences, such as disease, blight, and civil disorder. The science of climate change is still young, but the evidence mounts that climate loomed over the fate of societies from arctic Greenland to the Fertile Crescent and from the lost cities of the Mayans in Central America to the rain forests of Central Africa. The tragedy of New Orleans is but the latest instance in which a region prepared for weather disasters experienced in the past finds itself helpless when nature ups the ante.--From publisher description.
