In 1979 wisten we reeds alles wat we nu weten over de wetenschap van klimaatverandering: waarom het gebeurde en hoe we het konden stoppen. In de tien jaar die volgden hadden we een echte kans om het probleem een halt toe te roepen. Het is duidelijk dat we daarin faalden. Nathaniel Rich doet nauwgezet verslag van de periode waarin op een haar na verdragen werden gesloten die ons van de ondergang konden redden, vóórdat de olie-industrie en politici besloten wetenschappelijke bewijzen te ontk...

Vom Mikroplastik in unseren Körpern über neu entfesselte Naturgewalten bis hin zur Erforschung der Unsterblichkeit: Nathaniel Richs Reportagen zeichnen ein eindrucksvolles Panorama unserer hochtechnisierten Welt. Wie unheilvoll menschliches Wirken und Natur miteinander verflochten sind, erleben wir, wenn Rich spannend wie in einer True-Crime-Novel von einem Dorf in den USA erzählt, das gegen einen Chemiekonzern und dabei buchstäblich um Leben und Tod kämpft. Weniger apokalyptisch und vielm...
