How to become the first generation to create a sustainable planet. Do you ever feel anxious about the state of our planet? Climate change, loss of biodiversity, and oceans full of plastic are critical issues, but panic helps us no more than denial. Hannah Ritchie examines seven major environmental challenges facing humanity and shows us how to tackle them. If we succeed, we will achieve true sustainability for the first time in history. The book presents many surprising facts, such as: - Reducing beef consumption can help the planet more than recycling. - Millions of people die due to air pollution, yet we are breathing the cleanest air in the last hundred years. - Urban growth does not destroy nature; living in cities is, in fact, more sustainable for the Earth. Humanity has already managed to address the ozone layer issue—and it can also tackle climate change.

We can't afford to delay climate action, but with all the shouting and disagreement it's hard to know where to turn. In her new book, bestselling environmental star Hannah Ritchie answers 50 key climate questions once and for all, clearing the air so we can get on and fix things. With so many conflicting headlines out there, it's tough to sort fact from fiction when it comes to climate change and the solutions we need for a cleaner future. The first piece of good news is that data scientist Hannah Ritchie is here with answers, and the steps we need to take now. Using simple, clear data, she tackles questions such as, 'Is it too late?', 'Won't we run out of minerals?' and 'Are we too polarised?'. The second piece of good news: the truth is way more hopeful than you might think. We're at a critical moment for our planet, and getting the facts straight is step one. But even more crucial is feeling hopeful about what we can do next. The third piece of good news? We already have many of the solutions we need to create a more sustainable planet for future generations. Clearing the Air is your essential guide whenever you're feeling lost or overwhelmed about climate change. Dive in, get informed and be part of building a better world for everyone.

In diesem Buch entlarvt sie die 50 dümmsten, dreistesten oder einfach nur gedankenlosesten Mythen anhand von präzisen Daten und fundierten Analysen.
