Arctic Thaw: Climate Change and the Global Race for Energy Resources
By Stephanie Sammartino McPherson ; Twenty-First Century Books
Ice in the Arctic is fast disappearing which has paved the way for both international competition and cooperation. The new possibilities in the Arctic region come with associated risks. The pursuit of oil and natural gas would likely impact the fragile polar ecosystems and would catalyze worldwide global warming. The race to control the Arctic and its energy potential is already on. The author takes a look at the current conflict and the effects of global warming by exploring the ongoing energy controversies that will decide the future of the Arctic and of the earth.
Climate Shock: The Economic Consequences of a Hotter Planet
By Gernot Wagner and Martin L. Weitzman ; Princeton University Press
Gernot Wagner and Martin Weitzman escalate the need to be proactive in dealing with climate change. Human-led climate change could be an existential threat and it’s time we sprang into action. The authors encourage readers to think about climate change through the perspective of risk management and discuss the repercussions of not taking timely action in this direction.
