Living Hot Surviving and Thriving on a Heating Planet ISBN: 9781761450594 (PB - EN) € commander liste d'envies The blunt truth about our current climate change predicament and a new approach to what we need to do about it. Leaving behind both the doomism and the wishful thinking currently holding us back, highly respected academic Clive Hamilton and policy consultant George Wilkenfeld shift the emphasis away from reducing carbon emissions and on to making the world resilient. They outline a vision for an all-embracing and on-going programme of investment and social change to protect ourselves from the ravages of a changing climate. Living Hot is a farsighted road map for what we must do next if we want to survive and even thrive on our heating planet. Clive Hamilton was recently named a 'living legend' among Australian academics and scholars. His influential books include Silent Invasion, Growth Fetish and Requiem for a Species: Why We Resist the Truth About Climate Change. A professor at Charles Sturt University in Canberra, he has held visiting academic positions at the University of Oxford, Yale University and Sciences Po. George Wilkenfeld is an independent energy policy consultant who helped develop the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory, star-rating labels for energy and water efficiency, and Australia's corporate greenhouse emissions reporting system.
