Billions of people will become climate refugees. Hotter temperatures will allow tropical diseases to spread into temperate regions. Higher levels of CO2, allergens, dust, and other particulate matter will impair our physical and mental health and even reduce our cognitive abilities. Climate change disproportionately affects the world's poor. It also harms Nature, and could ultimately trigger a sixth mass extinction. In Escaping Nature, Orrin H. Pilkey and his coauthors offer concrete suggestions for how to respond to the threats posed by global climate change. They argue that, while we wait for the world's governments to get serious about mitigating climate change, we can adapt to a hotter world through technological innovations, behavioral changes, nature-based solutions, political changes, and education"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Climatic changes. 650 0 $a Climate change mitigation. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $x Effect of human beings on. 650 0 $a Global temperature changes. 650 0 $a Global warming. 700 1 $a Pilkey, Charles O., $e author. 700 1 $a Pilkey-Jarvis, Linda, $e author. 700 1 $a Longo, Norma J., $d 1943-, $e author. 700 1 $a Pilkey, Keith C., $d 1965-, $e author. 700 1 $a Dodson, Fred B., $e author. 700 1 $a Hayes, Hannah L., $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Pilkey, Orrin H., 1934- $t Escaping nature $d Durham : Duke University Press, 2024 $z 9781478027577 $w (DLC) 2023020142 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240416010146.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AEB2AD9EFBB611EE91A57D0E3AECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
