    Content: The 4.4-billion-year history of the oceans and their role in Earth's climate systemIt has often been said that we know more about the moon than we do about our own oceans. In fact, we know a great deal more about the oceans than many people realize. Scientists know that our actions today are shaping the oceans and climate of tomorrow—and that if we continue to act recklessly, the consequences will be dire. In this timely and accessible book, Eelco Rohling traces the 4.4 billion-year history of Earth’s oceans while also shedding light on the critical role they play in our planet’s climate system.Beginning with the formation of primeval Earth and the earliest appearance of oceans, Rohling takes readers on a journey through prehistory to the present age, vividly describing the major events in the ocean’s evolution—from snowball and greenhouse Earth to the end-Permian mass extinction, the breakup of the Pangaea supercontinent, and the changing climate of today. Along the way, he explores the close interrelationships of the oceans, climate, solid Earth processes, and life, using the context of Earth and ocean history to provide perspective on humankind’s impacts on the health and habitability of our planet—and on what the future may hold for us.An invaluable introduction to the cutting-edge science of paleoceanography, The Oceans enables you to make your own informed opinions about the environmental challenges we face as a result of humanity’s unrelenting drive to exploit the world ocean and its vital resources

    Content: Im Jahr 2015 erreichte der jährliche durchschnittliche Kohlenstoffdioxidgehalt in der Atmosphäre erstmals in drei Millionen Jahren einen Wert von über 400 ppm. Dieser Umstand löste nicht nur bei Klimawissenschaftler:innen kollektive Besorgnis aus, sondern auch bei jenen, die natürliche Klimaschwankungen in prähistorischen Zeiten vor der Einflussnahme des Menschen untersuchen. Diese Forschenden werden Paläoklimatolog:innen genannt, der Autor des Werkes Eelco J. Rohling ist einer von ihnen. Die Klimafrage liefert gut verständliche Hintergrundinformationen zu dieser hochaktuellen Thematik und hält anschauliche Beispiele bereit. Das Werk entstand aus Rohlings drängenden Fragen heraus, ob der moderne Klimawandel nicht womöglich Teil eines natürlichen Kreislaufes sei, ob die Natur die Probleme nicht von selbst lösen könne und ob technologische Neuerungen vielleicht doch nicht das Allheilmittel gegen die klima- tischen Missstände darstellen. Die Klimafrage erläutert dabei in einfacher Sprache die Gründe für die Klimaveränderung und beleuchtet, wie sich die Situation noch vor der industriellen Revolution auf natürliche Weise veränderte bevor der Mensch als Einflussfaktor an Bedeutung gewann. Wie sich das Klima seither verändert hat, wird ebenfalls thematisiert. Im Werk werden das Ausmaß und die Geschwindigkeit der vorindustriellen Schwankungen mit den Werten nach der Industrialisierung verglichen, woraus sich der Einfluss des Menschen ableiten lässt und Prognosen über zukünftige potentielle Entwicklung erarbeitet werden. Schlussendlich evaluiert das Buch, was Mutter Natur ei- genständig tun könne, um mit dem menschlichen Einfluss zurecht- zukommen und welche Möglichkeiten wir als Menschen besitzen, ihr dabei zu helfen.

    Content: "Over recent decades, a wide variety of studies and assessment reports has portrayed a stark picture of humanity's detrimental impacts on our planet's life and environmental health. Climate change is at the heart of many of these impacts. This cannot be allowed to continue, given the relentless human population growth and ever-expanding energy and resource consumption. We have but one planet, and its ecosystem services are essential to our survival. But the doomsday scenario can still be averted; humanity stands at a crossroads where it must take the route of sustainable behaviour. Decisive action can still make a significant difference to climate change. This is humanity's greatest challenge. To have any chance of success, however, the time to act can be delayed no longer. Instead, it is right now: today is the future. This book documents a wealth of ways to adjust the trajectory of climate change. It outlines measures to drive massive reductions of greenhouse gas emissions, to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, and to reflect part of the incoming energy from the Sun. For all measures, the book evaluates both advantages and disadvantages. Finally, it discusses the need to protect ourselves from impacts that have become inevitable already, and looks at how society may be driven to get the job done. In short, this book provides powerful facts and arguments to support informed choices"--

    Content: In 2015, annual average atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels surpassed a level of 400 parts per million (ppm) for the first time in three million years. This has caused widespread concern among climate scientists, and not least among those that work on natural climate variability in prehistoric times, before humans. These people are known as 'past climate' or palaeoclimate researchers, and author Eelco J. Rohling is one of them. 'The Climate Question' offers a background to these concerns in straightforward terms, with examples, and is motivated by Rohling's personal experience in being intensely quizzed about whether modern change is not all just part of a natural cycle, whether nature will not simply resolve the issue for us, or whether it won't be just up to some novel engineering to settle things quickly.
