Abstract

Why, despite all we know about the causes and harms of global heating, has so little effective action been taken to cut greenhouse gas emissions, and what we can do to change that? This book explains the mechanisms and impacts of the climate crisis, traces the history and reasons behind the lack of serious effort to combat it, describes some people's ongoing scepticism and how to shift it, and motivates an urgent program of action. It argues that the pathway to stopping dangerous global heating will require a much larger mobilization of advocacy and activism to impel decision makers to abandon fossil fuels, and transition to renewable energy and electrification embedded in a political and social framework guided by justice principles. It is an excellent resource for students and researchers on the climate crisis, the need for a renewable energy transition, and the current blocks to progress.
气候危机
为什么,尽管我们都知道全球变暖的原因和危害,却很少采取有效的行动来减少温室气体排放,我们能做些什么来改变这一点?这本书解释了气候危机的机制和影响,追溯了缺乏认真应对气候危机的历史和原因,描述了一些人持续的怀疑和如何转变这种怀疑,并激发了一个紧急的行动计划。报告认为,阻止危险的全球变暖的途径将需要更大规模的宣传和行动主义动员,以推动决策者放弃化石燃料,并在以正义原则为指导的政治和社会框架内向可再生能源和电气化过渡。对于学生和研究人员来说,这是一个很好的资源,可以帮助他们了解气候危机、可再生能源转型的必要性以及当前的进展障碍。
