Mark Rowlands: World on Fire, Gebunden

Klappentext

The philosopher Mark Rowlands takes a novel perspective on the problem of climate change and how to address it. With energy consumption at the core of the issue, he claims climate, extinction, and pestilence as three epoch-defining environmental issues of our time. Rowlands proposes a single solution to all three: breaking our collective habit of eating animals. Bringing to bear analytic rigor and empirical data, Rowlands argues that reversing the industrial farming of animals for our consumption will both significantly reduce energy emissions and allow for free space to aggressively reforest land being used by industrial animal farms to mitigate the effects of climate change.
