Existential Threat. Climate change is the biggest existential crisis that humankind has faced. In the last 100 years, we have ruined the carbon cycle using fossil fuels, namely, coal, petroleum, and natural gas to build our civilization not taking into account the catastrophic impacts of climate change can cause. We are already seeing a record of floods, hurricanes, wildfires and droughts since the temperature rise is already at 1.5 degrees Celsius. We need to reduce our greenhouse effect by half by 2030 and reach the zero-carbon economy by 2050 to limit the temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius. Even though our lives depend on it, most of us don't know about the causes and how we will be able to tackle this existential threat. This book gives you alternative answers on what steps governments, companies and individuals need to take. Greenhouse Effects and Global Warming. According to Elon Musk: "Ruining the carbon cycle is the dumbest experiment in history". Life on earth built its balance in 4.5 billion years, and human-induced fossil fuel emissions caused the carbon dioxide density to increase from 300 to 420 ppm in less than 100 years resulting in the heat to be trapped in the atmosphere, and the average temperature to increase 1.5 degrees Celsius. We need to keep it at 2 degrees Celsius level. The Biggest Opportunity. We are at a turning point. Climate change solutions also make economical sense, which is what governments, and corporations are completely aware. Now is the time to phase out the fossil fuel production and consumption and gain full momentum to the green zero-carbon economy such as geothermal, wind power, solar electricity, nuclear fusion, and biomass. Fortunately, renewable sources along with the available technologies, and upcoming innovations are all in line to create the sustainable future economy. Successful Models. Arguably, the biggest challenge that the humanity has ever overcome as one species is the Ozone depletion through the Montreal Protocol, which was signed by 197 countries. Now, the Ozone layer is fully recovering as chlorofluorocarbons are banned by all countries, and it's estimated to fully recover by 2050. The Montreal Treaty and other successful technologies and innovations can be used as a success model that also represents what we are able to achieve when we unite. The New Economy. It's inevitable that we will be feeling the impacts of climate change for the decades to come since we keep filling the atmosphere with greenhouse gases. However, we have every reason to be extremely hopeful since all the countries signed the Paris Agreement, they come together each year to improve the progress via COP meetings, and we have new, and upcoming technologies such as Tokamak nuclear fusion, solid state batteries, complete electrification of vehicles, and concentrated solar power that can realize the zero-carbon economy by the 2050 deadline. Learn what climate change exactly is and how we will be able to tackle it in the next few decades. This book will bring you the information and insight for you to see how governments, companies and individuals can take orchestrated actions.

How can you argue with deniers? How can we create positive change in the midst of the climate crisis? Professor Mark Maslin has the key facts that we need to protect our future. Global awareness of climate change is growing rapidly. Science has proven that our planet and species are facing a massive environmental crisis. How to Save Our Planet is a call to action, guaranteed to equip everyone with the knowledge needed to make change. Be under no illusion the challenges of the twenty-first century are immense. We need to deal with: climate change, environmental destruction, global poverty and ensure everyone's security. We have the technology. We have the resources. We have the money. We have the scientists, the entrepreneurs and the innovators. We lack the politics and policies to make your vision of a better world happen. So we need a plan to save our planet... How to Save Our Planet is your handbook of how we together can save our precious planet. From the history of our planet and species, to the potential of individuals and our power to create a better future, Maslin inspires optimism in these bleak times. We stand at the precipice.

This book examines why the "standard money theory" we habitually apply to the world is incapable of confronting the challenges of global climate change. It then provides an easy to follow layman's explanation of "modern money theory" (MMT) and shows why this new perspective of the Reserve/bank-dollar system we use today is the best hope the world has to actually pay people to do the work (and alter their consumer choices) to save the planet. The explanation is given twice; the second time using diagrams that make the new perspective of MMT come to life.

You want to change the world. You want your work to have meaning. Maybe you're even audacious enough to want saving the world to be fun. What if saving the Earth were a game? Not just any game, but the greatest game we've ever played. This workbook helps social and environmental change professionals learn how to implement powerful techniques from the fields of game design, behavioral psychology, design, data science, and storytelling, that are not only proven to have impact, but also can make your project fun. In a 10-step framework of exercises, tutorials, and case studies, How to Save the World will teach you the art of changing the world - and it's often not what you think. Did you know that just by putting a sign above a recycling bin that showed people the number of cans inside increased the recycling rate by 67 percent? Or when people standing in line at a cafe were told that other customers before them had ordered a vegetarian meal, that this simple intervention doubled the total rate of vegetarian meal orders? As you implement these academically researched and measurement-driven techniques, How to Save the World will drive you to dig into your creativity and unearth your greatest ideas that shift the numbers on the causes you most care about, so you can experience the joy and satisfaction of seeing your work really, actually change the world every single day.

The first book by the creator of the Kindness Boomerang video (more than 20,000,000 views on YouTube) shows readers how to make kindness something they can practice every day.

The climate change is coming. To prepare for it, we need to admit that we can’t prevent it.

"Save the World on Your Own Time is invariably smart, stimulating, and provocative. It is filled with insights and crackles with verve. It is a joy to take in." - Texas Law Review
