What impact are we having on global warming? Does a more sustainable
way of living hold the answer to climate change and the other
environmental problems facing our planet?
How We're F***ing Up Our Planet charts the dramatic explosion of
human population and consumption. Using the latest scientific evidence
and simple graphics, this wide-ranging and accessible book reveals how
our growing use of energy, our increasing demand for food and water, and
the rapid expansion of our cities are affecting the planet. It examines
the threats and pressures facing the natural world, including Earth's
climate, oceans, and biodiversity.
As well as explaining global patterns and showing how they are
connected, How We're F***ing Up Our Planet looks into the future to
explore the consequences of what we are doing. Importantly, it also
looks at how we can reverse the current trends--for example, by adopting
clean, low-carbon technologies--and live more sustainably into the
future.
