Die Klimawende
Wie wir mit neuen Technologien unsere Atmosphäre retten
Aus dem Englischen von Jürgen Neubauer
FISCHER E-Books
Tim Flannery, geboren 1956 in Melbourne, lebt als Wissenschaftler, Forscher und Umweltschützer in Australien. Als Zoologe hat er mehr als dreißig neue Arten von Säugetieren entdeckt. Tim Flannery ist Autor zahlreicher Bücher (bei S. Fischer erschienen der Bestseller ›Wir Wettermacher. Wie die Menschen das Klima verändern und was das für unser Leben bedeutet‹, ›Auf Gedeih und Verderb. Die Erde und wir: Geschichte und Gegenwart einer besonderen Beziehung‹ und ›Im Reich der Inseln. Meine Suche nach unentdeckten Arten und andere Abenteuer im Südpazifik‹ ) und hat viele Dokumentarfilme gedreht. Er war Professor für Zoologie und Direktor des South Australian Museum in Adelaide. Von 2011 bis 2013 war er Head of the Australian Climate Commission.

Wir verfügen heute über eine Vielzahl von neuen Technologien, mit denen der Klimawandel zumindest abgemildert werden kann. Doch es mangelt bisher an dem flächendeckenden Einsatz dieser Technologien, der erforderlich wäre, um einen Wandel herbeizuführen.
Der bekannte Umweltaktivist, Naturforscher und Bestsellerautor Tim Flannery gibt eine Momentaufnahme unserer Lage und analysiert die neuesten möglichen Auswege daraus. In seinem unnachahmlichen Stil legt er ein Jahrzehnt nach seinem Bestseller ›Wir Wettermacher‹ ein Plädoyer zum Umdenken vor. Ein wichtiger Diskussionsbeitrag zur UN-Klimakonferenz 2015 in Paris.
