What's the matter?
Species extinction, climate change, pandemics: if the earth is not to become an inhospitable planet, mankind must get three major crises under control. And they are all interrelated.
How, that is described by the author Prof. Josef Settele in his current book "The Triple Crisis". He explains why insect deaths also threaten our lives. How the deforestation of the forests not only dwindles our most important buffer against climate-heating CO2 emissions, but also promotes pandemics. And how our appetite for meat accelerates climate change in a variety of ways and promotes the development of devastating pathogens.
But Settele also shows how each and every individual can contribute to ensuring that our planet does not become deserted, but remains colorful, lively - and habitable. He does not come along with a raised forefinger, but explains the complex relationships vividly, but always vividly and, despite the severity of the topic, with a flash of humor.
His urgent appeal: "Help save the blue planet - before the last butterfly dies!"
Who wrote it?
Prof. Josef Settele is an international environmental researcher. He heads the Department of Nature Conservation Research at the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research in Halle. He is co-chair of the world report on the ecological state of the earth and “environmental guide” of the federal government. In short: the man knows his way around.
Who cares?
Affects each of us - so it should also be of interest to everyone!
Our conclusion
Everyone is talking about the climate crisis - here it is explained. A committed book that tells in an exciting and understandable way that the three great natural crises of our planet are dealt with and that the global ecological relationships and their deadly consequences are shown to the reader. Not light fare, but not one that is hopelessly either.
