商品描述

This book redefines climate protection measures and readjusts climate protection targets in line with what is scientifically necessary and economically feasible. The reader is provided with an overview of recent developments and failings in, and successful instruments for, fighting climate change and global warming.

Effective climate protection measures rest on two pillars: stopping all greenhouse gas emissions and cleaning the atmosphere of spare carbon. Both are possible, if the use of fossil fuels in the energy, transport, construction and chemistry sectors is terminated and the decision is made to consistently switch to a world economy with zero emissions instead. Global Feed-in-Tariffs can provide incentives for renewable energies as the German Feed-in-Tariff has proven – a measure which has been copied by almost 70 nations around the world. At the same time agricultural practices are necessary to support an increase in biodiversity, e.g. re-greening the desert, afforestation and organic agriculture and active storage of atmospheric carbon emissions within agricultural soils.

This book demonstrates that investment in renewable energies and a sustainable economy is not only a worthwhile cause but also has an economic value. The book introduces new actors such as the financial industry as an investor and political actor. If the financial industry becomes a political actor and calls for a necessary regulatory framework, more nations will follow - accompanied by an economic benefit - which will create a class of pioneer nations instead of the ever failing project of a global climate agreement. The transformation of the world economy can be accelerated through the right political measures. Active legislative support is necessary, for example the implementation of Feed-in-Tariffs for renewable energies, ending all subsidies for fossil fuels and the internalization of external damage costs such as nuclear waste management.

Global warming does not have to be our inescapable fate. If mankind pursues the right climate protection strategies, the earth can be cooled down to an acceptable level in a few decades.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書重新定義了氣候保護措施,並根據科學上必要和經濟上可行的標準調整氣候保護目標。讀者將獲得有關應對氣候變化和全球暖化的最新發展、失敗案例以及成功工具的概述。

有效的氣候保護措施建立在兩個支柱上:停止所有溫室氣體排放和清理大氣中的多餘碳。這兩者都是可能的,只要終止在能源、交通、建築和化學行業中使用化石燃料,並決定持續轉向零排放的世界經濟。全球的上網電價(Feed-in Tariffs)可以為可再生能源提供激勵,正如德國的上網電價所證明的那樣——這一措施已被全球近70個國家效仿。同時,農業實踐也是必要的,以支持生物多樣性的增加,例如:重新綠化沙漠、植樹造林、有機農業以及在農業土壤中主動儲存大氣中的碳排放。

這本書展示了對可再生能源和可持續經濟的投資不僅是一個值得追求的事業,還具有經濟價值。書中介紹了新的參與者,例如金融行業作為投資者和政治行動者。如果金融行業成為政治行動者並呼籲必要的監管框架,將會有更多國家跟隨——伴隨著經濟利益——這將創造出一批先驅國家,而不是不斷失敗的全球氣候協議項目。通過正確的政治措施,可以加速世界經濟的轉型。積極的立法支持是必要的,例如實施可再生能源的上網電價、結束對化石燃料的所有補貼,以及內部化外部損害成本,如核廢料管理。

全球暖化不必成為我們無法逃避的命運。如果人類追求正確的氣候保護策略,地球可以在幾十年內降溫至可接受的水平。
