It does not paint over the truth. \u003cb\u003eIt presents the truth as seen through the eyes of an experienced climate scientist with no agenda\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e The book describes the reality and presents evidence that clearly shows that\u003cb\u003e humanity will not be able to stop global warming and climate change in the foreseeable future\u003c\/b\u003e. The reasons for this lie not just in ever-growing human economic activity, which leads to increasing greenhouse gas emissions. There is an even bigger, far more serious problem which is the awakening of \"sleeping giants\" - dangerous powerful natural positive climate feedback processes that immediately began to amplify the initial anthropogenic warming that triggered them. For example, global warming has triggered permafrost thaw in polar regions releasing carbon dioxide and methane - strong greenhouse gases - into the atmosphere, amplifying global warming. The greater the global warming, the greater the thawing, leading to even more warming. In a warming climate, dangerous positive feedbacks (those that increase the initial warming) cannot be stopped, which means they are beyond human control.\u003cbr\u003e A detailed explanation of the most important positive climate feedbacks in the Earth's climate system forms a large part of this book. This type of explanation is almost entirely absent in much of the existing literature on climate change, which tends to focus mainly on anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e The activation of powerful positive, self-reinforcing climate feedbacks completely changes our understanding of what will happen to future climate\u003c\/b\u003e, because it means that further global warming will depend not only on more human emissions of greenhouse gases, but also on climate feedbacks. With or without further human emissions, the dangerous positive climate feedbacks will result in our planet being much hotter now in the 21st century, likely well above the 3 degrees Celsius global warming assumed under current global climate policy.\u003cbr\u003e With further climate warming imminent, \u003cb\u003ehumanity has no choice but to prepare for the worst-case scenario of a climate crisis and to adapt to a new, much less comfortable climate\u003c\/b\u003e. However, in many regions of the Global South it will be very difficult to adapt, and in some areas adaptation will not even be possible. The book shows that, \u003cb\u003eas global warming accelerates, the contrast between the poor and unstable Global South and the rich and secure Global North will inevitably increase, which will become the main driver of forced mass migration from the South to the North\u003c\/b\u003e. The book explains why this massive climate migration from the South to the North may begin as early as within the next decade or two.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e The only way to avoid the global destabilization caused by forced massive migration from the South to the North is to unite the world around the issue of orderly adaptation to inevitable climate change\u003c\/b\u003e. To unite, the world will have to change itself ethically to become more just, solidary and cooperative. Only such a united world will be able to survive the imminent climate crisis without descending into chaos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-15828119\"\u003eBoris Soukharev\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boris Soukharev\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.84d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788396607805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 839660780X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SCI\"\u003eScience\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SCI092000\"\u003eGlobal Warming \u0026amp; Climate Change\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boris Soukharev","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44459520393453,"sku":"839660780X","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_89c9edc5-2da9-4d2d-b9b7-a01ffd453be2.jpg?v=1700459116","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/why-global-warming-cannot-be-stopped-and-how-it-will-lead-to-mass-migration-9788396607805","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
