Based on the groundbreaking documentary of the same name, The Carbon Rush focuses on the real meaning of the carbon trading system, where countries can buy and sell each other's carbon emissions and carbon credits are traded like stocks. These stocks are then often used to bankroll huge industrial operations, many of which are ravaging both the world's poor and their environments." --from book jacket.

By Jahren, Hope[2020]., Adult, Vintage Books, a division of Penguin Random House LLC Call No: 363.73 J25s Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Hope Jahren is an award-winning geobiologist, a brilliant writer, and one of the seven billion people with whom we share this earth. The Story of More is her impassioned open letter to humanity as we stand at the crossroads of survival and extinction. Jahren celebrates the long history of our enterprising spirit--which has tamed wild crops, cured diseases, and sent us to the moon--but also shows how that spirit has created excesses that are quickly warming our planet to dangerous levels. In short, highly readable chapters, she takes us through the science behind the key inventions--from electric power to large-scale farming and automobiles--that, even as they help us, release untenable amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. She explains the current and projected consequences of greenhouse gases--from superstorms to rising sea levels--and shares the science-based tools that could help us fight back. At once an explainer on the mechanisms of warming and a capsule history of human development, The Story of More illuminates the link between our consumption habits and our endangered earth. It is the essential pocket primer on climate change that will leave an indelible impact on everyone who reads it."--
