Per decenni le industrie legate ai combustibili fossili hanno negato che il clima stesse cambiando o che le attività umane avessero un qualche ruolo nel riscaldamento in atto. Oggi il consenso della comunità scientifica gli impatti sempre più evidenti e la pressione sociale crescente hanno di fatto azzerato le forme più radicali di negazionismo ormai limitate ai recessi più oscuri dei social media. La battaglia per il clima però non è ancora vinta. Le aziende dei fossili nel tentativo di ritardare il più possibile gli interventi che servono a evitare livelli di riscaldamento pericolosi ma che metterebbero a rischio i loro profitti hanno infatti cambiato approccio. Non negano più e puntano invece a distrarre e a rinviare. Michael E. Mann da oltre vent'anni uno dei climatologi più importanti del mondo in La nuova guerra del clima analizza e decostruisce le nuove strategie di questi "inattivisti". Per esempio l'enfasi sulla responsabilità individuale: gli appelli legittimi a ridurre i consumi e a evitare gli sprechi sono stati trasformati in una potentissima arma di distrazione di massa capace di dividere gli attivisti per il clima e di distogliere l'attenzione dalle aziende dei fossili vere responsabili del riscaldamento in corso. Vengono poi presi in esame gli appelli di lobbysti politici e opinionisti a favore di quelle che Mann chiama "soluzioni-non soluzioni": per esempio il gas naturale gli interventi di riforestazione e la geoingegneria. Si tratta di misure che non risolvono il problema dei cambiamenti climatici e ritardano le azioni davvero efficaci come l'abolizione d

Explore global warming with graphics, illustrations, and charts that separate climate change fact from fiction, presenting the truth about global warming in a way that's both accurate and easy to understand. Respected climate scientists Michael E. Mann and Lee R. Kump address important questions about global warming and climate change, diving into the information documented by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and breaking it down into clear graphics that explain complex climate questions in simple illustrations that present the truth of the global warming problem clearly.

These experts take scientific findings about climate change and global warming and use analogies, striking images, and understandable graphics to make the global warming question clear to both skeptics and scientists. Dire Predictions shows the evidence and the causes that respected scientists have documented in IPCC findings and climate change studies — this powerful, illustrated book is updated with the latest IPCC information and is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding global warming and climate change and in joining the debate over the best way to combat global warming.

Periodic reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) evaluate the risk of climate change brought on by humans. But the sheer volume of scientific data remains inscrutable to the general public, particularly to those who may still question the validity of climate change. In just over 200 pages, this practical text presents and expands upon the essential findings of the IPCC’s 5^th Assessment Report in a visually stunning and undeniably powerful way to the lay reader. Scientific findings that provide validity to the implications of climate change are presented in clear-cut graphic elements, striking images, and understandable analogies.

A member of the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change examines the fossil-fuel industry's public relations campaign to discredit the science of climate change and deny the reality of global warming.

Discusses the effect of global warming on nature and wildlife, including air and water pollution, the drastic change in land and ocean habitats, and the effect on animal immune and reproductive systems.

Explores the effects of global warming on human health, examining the impacts of extreme cold snaps; issues arising from aridity; the health dangers posed by hurricanes and floods; diminished air capacity from smog, pollution, the ozone, and aero-allergens; global warming and infectious disease; food security and food safety.

More than ten years ago, a team of heart specialists and dietitians at Baylor College of Medicine and The Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas, created the Living Heart Diet for their patients. Their best-selling book explained the relationship between nutrition and heart disease and helped change America's eating habits.
Updated and completely revised, The New Living Heart Diet incorporates the latest information on how to minimize your risk factors for coronary heart disease and reflects changes in our tastes and eating habits. Drawing on recent research in health and nutrition, the New Living Heart Diet helps you make food and lifestyle choices to control blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, blood pressure, weight, and diabetes. It clarifies information about vitamins and minerals, interprets the new nutrition labels, and explains how to select among the array of foods in supermarkets. Also included is a special chapter on vegetarian eating.
More than 300 new or revised recipes - along with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and holiday menus - are provided to make healthy cooking and eating convenient. The recipes and menus have easy-to-understand nutrient analyses and feature traditional American as well as international dishes.
From the detailed guides for selecting food when eating out to the comprehensive tables describing the nutrient content of common foods, the New Living Heart Diet makes it easy for readers to enjoy delicious, healthy eating every day.
