Synopsis

Thrilling report and hopeful plea for climate justice.

The journalist and climate activist Louisa Schneider has traveled to key regions of our earth where the climate crisis decides: in Brazil, the rainforest burns in Senegal, the monsoon shifts, in Canada the permafrost soil is thawing, in Greenland the gigantic ice sheet melts and in Australia the coral reefs fade out. All these natural and climate changes lead to chain reactions in other parts of the world. One speaks of climate tipping points: Louisa felt the heat of forest clearances in Brazil, saw entire houses and beaches disappear in Senegal, heard the ice crashing in Canada and Greenland, and dived to the Australian Great Barrier Reef. Everything is connected: tilting these systems, it could toast a domino and drastically change our lives. The book places a special focus on the local people directly affected by the effects of climate disaster, but through hopeful projects and initiatives protect their communities and nature. Louisa Schneider impressively shows what chances we now have to finally free ourselves from the systematic exploitation of nature and man.

Climate tipping points and domino effects: prevent a global catastrophe

This decade decides how many disasters can still be avoided, how many possibilities and freedoms we will have in the future, and how many tipping points will be exceeded. The well-founded texts by Louisa Schneider and impressive images by nature photographer and activist Markus Mauthe illuminate the worldwide connections in an understandable way. A very personal plea about privileges and climate justice. Passionate and hopeful, Louisa Schneider shows that it will never be too late to tackle the climate crisis. Because Grad~" now we have the opportunity to make a better world possible for all of us.
