1/ As the merchants of doubt in fossile energies seem to be flooding the airwaves with their perspectives and biases these days, I thought I’d suggest some books and content to help people stay accurately informed about the climate crisis. Thread:
2/ For the major causes and human consequences of climate change, check out @dwallacewells’ «Uninhabitable Earth - Life After Warming». Worth getting reminded about what’s at stake. audiobooks.com/audiobook/unin…
3/ For the economic consequences and climate risk considerations, check out @GernotWagner (et al.)’s «Climate Shock - The Economic Consequences of a Hotter Planet». A real eyeopener for me, written in an accessible and intelligent style. audible.co.uk/pd/Climate-Sho…
4/ If you want to check out where the path leads once we’ve failed in cutting greenhouse gas emissions and the cost of adaptation rises, check out O. Morton’s «The Planet Remade - How Geoengineering Could Change The Earth” which reads like a horror story amazon.co.uk/Planet-Remade-…
5/ At this point you might want to read something a little more uplifting, perhaps @PeterDiamandis’ “Abundance” or “Bold”, on the extreme potential in new, exponential technologies in solving our problems. amazon.com/Peter-H.-Diama…
6/ A little too light, optimistic and forward looking for your taste perhaps? Should we dive into well researched realpolitik of energy economics here and now? Check out C. Leonard’s “Kochland” audible.com/pd/Kochland-Au…
7/ Or perhaps @NaomiOreskes et al.’s «Merchants of Doubt», on how the big oil companies have denied, undermined and counteracted science on climate change. audible.co.uk/pd/Merchants-o…
8/ If you want to dig deeper into the psychology of climate change, check out @estoknes’ “What we think about when we try not to think about global warming”. (Should become an audiobook asap, in my view) amazon.com/What-Think-Abo…
