Stopping Climate Change : Policies for Real Zero
Written by one of the leading experts in the field, Paul Ekins, Stopping Climate Change provides a comprehensive overview of what is required to achieve ‘real zero’ carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, and negative emissions thereafter, which is the only way to stop human- induced climate change. This will require innovation in socio-technical systems, and in human behaviour, on an unprecedented scale.Stopping Climate Change describes the changes required to meet this goal: in technologies, social institutions and individual activities.Paul Ekins examines in detail issues around the supply and demand of energy and materials, and the efficiency of their use.It also analyses greenhouse gas removal technologies, offsetting and geoengineering, and plots the reduction of the non- CO2 greenhouse gas-emitting activities.Having set out the changes required, Ekins considers the economic implications, in terms of both the innovation and investments that are necessary to bring them about, and the effects that these are likely to have on national economies.The evidence presented points clearly to the economic impacts of decarbonisation being positive for the majority of countries, and for the world as a whole, even before considering the benefits of avoided climate change.When the health benefits of stopping the burning of fossil fuels are factored in, the global net benefits of decarbonisation are unequivocal. Drawing on examples from the UK and Europe, but with wider relevance at a global scale, Stopping Climate Change clearly shows how determined policy action at different levels could stop climate change.It will be of great interest to students, scholars and policymakers researching and working in the field of climate change and energy policy.

Climate Lyricism
In Climate Lyricism Min Hyoung Song articulates a climate change-centered reading practice that foregrounds how climate is present in most literature.Song shows how literature, poetry, and essays by Tommy Pico, Solmaz Sharif, Frank O’Hara, Ilya Kaminsky, Claudia Rankine, Kazuo Ishiguro, Teju Cole, Richard Powers, and others help us to better grapple with our everyday encounters with climate change and its disastrous effects, which are inextricably linked to the legacies of racism, colonialism, and extraction.These works employ what Song calls climate lyricism—a mode of address in which a first-person “I” speaks to a “you” about how climate change thoroughly shapes daily life.The relationship between “I” and “you” in this lyricism, Song contends, affects the ways readers comprehend the world, fostering a model of shared agency from which it can become possible to collectively and urgently respond to the catastrophe of our rapidly changing climate.In this way, climate lyricism helps to ameliorate the sense of being overwhelmed and feeling unable to do anything to combat climate change.

Climate Displacement
Climate change is reshaping patterns of displacement around the world.Extreme weather events destroy homes, environmental degradation threatens the viability of livelihoods, sea level rise and coastal erosion force communities to relocate, and risks to food and resource security magnify the sources of political instability.Climate displacement—the displacement of people driven at least in part by the impacts of climate change—is a pressing moral challenge that is incumbent upon us to address. This book develops a political theory of climate displacement.Most work on climate displacement has tended to take an idealized ‘climate refugee’ as its focus.But focusing on the figure of the climate refugee obscures the complexity and heterogeneity of climate displacement.Instead, this book takes the empirical dynamics of climate displacement as its starting point.It examines the moral and political problems raised by the interaction of climate change and displacement in five domains: community relocation, territorial sovereignty, labour migration, refugee movement, and internal displacement.In each context, climate displacement raises distinct questions, which this book explores on their own terms.At the same time, this book treats climate displacement as a unified phenomenon by examining the overarching questions of responsibility and fairness that it raises.The result is an empirically grounded political theory that both maps the conceptual terrain of climate displacement and charts a course for meeting the moral challenge that it raises.

Climate Change
Written by a leading geographer of climate, this book offers a unique guide to students and general readers alike for making sense of this profound, far-reaching, and contested idea.It presents climate change as an idea with a past, a present, and a future. In ten carefully crafted chapters, Climate Change offers a synoptic and inter-disciplinary understanding of the idea of climate change from its varied historical and cultural origins; to its construction more recently through scientific endeavour; to the multiple ways in which political, social, and cultural movements in today’s world seek to make sense of and act upon it; to the possible futures of climate, however it may be governed and imagined.The central claim of the book is that the full breadth and power of the idea of climate change can only be grasped from a vantage point that embraces the social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences.This vantage point is what the book offers, written from the perspective of a geographer whose career work on climate change has drawn across the full range of academic disciplines.The book highlights the work of leading geographers in relation to climate change; examples, illustrations, and case study boxes are drawn from different cultures around the world, and questions are posed for use in class discussions. The book is written as a student text, suitable for disciplinary and inter-disciplinary undergraduate and graduate courses that embrace climate change from within social science and humanities disciplines.Science students studying climate change on inter-disciplinary programmes will also benefit from reading it, as too will the general reader looking for a fresh and distinctive account of climate change.

Is climate change real?
Yes, climate change is real. Scientific evidence shows that the Earth's climate is warming at an unprecedented rate, primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This has led to rising global temperatures, melting ice caps, more frequent extreme weather events, and other observable impacts. Addressing climate change requires urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to more sustainable practices.
-
Is the climate crisis real?
Yes, the climate crisis is real. Scientific evidence shows that the Earth's climate is changing at an unprecedented rate due to human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, leading to global warming, rising sea levels, more frequent extreme weather events, and other negative impacts on the environment and human societies. Addressing the climate crisis requires urgent and collective action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to a more sustainable way of living.

Is climate change really so real?
Yes, climate change is very real. There is overwhelming scientific evidence that the Earth's climate is warming at an unprecedented rate, largely due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This has led to a range of impacts including rising global temperatures, more frequent and severe extreme weather events, and the melting of polar ice caps. The consensus among climate scientists is that urgent action is needed to mitigate the impacts of climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

What is the difference between honest and sincere?
Honesty refers to telling the truth and being straightforward in one's communication, while sincerity refers to being genuine and heartfelt in one's actions and expressions. In other words, honesty is about being truthful and transparent, while sincerity is about being genuine and authentic. One can be honest without being sincere, and vice versa. For example, someone can be honest about their feelings but not sincerely express them, or someone can sincerely express themselves but not be completely honest.
