      By Miller, Amy, 1980-
       2014., Red Deer Press Call No: QWF 363.738746 M647c    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "The Carbon Rush travels across four continents and brings us up close to the realities of carbon trading and the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism. 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 Alook, Angele
       2023. Click to access digital title.     Summary Note: The climate crisis is here, and the end of this world-a world built on land theft, resource extraction, and colonial genocide-is on the horizon. In this compelling roadmap to a livable future, Indigenous sovereignty and climate justice go hand in hand. Drawing on their work in Indigenous activism, the labour movement, youth climate campaigns, community-engaged scholarship, and independent journalism, the six authors challenge toothless proposals and false solutions to show that a just transition from fossil fuels cannot succeed without the dismantling of settler capitalism in Canada. Together, they envision a near future where oil and gas stay in the ground; where a caring economy provides social supports for all; where wealth is redistributed from the bloated billionaire class; and where stolen land is rightfully reclaimed under the jurisdiction and sovereignty of Indigenous peoples. Packed with clear-eyed analysis of both short- and long-term strategies for radical social change, The End of This World promises that the next world is within reach and worth fighting for.

      By Krenak, Ailton  Cardinal, Lorne
       2021., 01:19:18, Post Hypnotic Press Edition: Unabridged.    Click to access digital title.    Sample Summary Note: "Ailton Krenak's ideas inspire, washing over you with every truth-telling sentence. Read this book." –Tanya Talaga, bestselling author of Seven Fallen Feathers Indigenous peoples have faced the end of the world before. Now, humankind is on a collective march towards the abyss. Global pandemics, extreme weather, and massive wildfires define this era many now call the Anthropocene. From Brazil comes Ailton Krenak, renowned Indigenous activist and leader, who demonstrates that our current environmental crisis is rooted in society's flawed concept of "humanity"—that human beings are superior to other forms of nature and are justified in exploiting it as we please. To stop environmental disaster, Krenak argues that we must reject the homogenizing effect of this perspective and embrace a new form of "dreaming" that allows us to regain our place within nature. In Ideas to Postpone the End of the World , he shows us the way.

      -- On :
      By Klein, Naomi, 1970-
       2019., Adult, Alfred A. Knopf Canada Call No: 304.25 K64o    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "For more than twenty years, Naomi Klein has been the foremost chronicler of the economic war waged on both people and planet--and the champion of a sweeping environmental agenda with stability and justice at its center. In lucid dispatches from the frontlines--from the ghostly Great Barrier Reef, to the annual smoke-choked skies of the Pacific Northwest, to post-hurricane Puerto Rico, to a Vatican attempting an unprecedented "ecological conversion"--she has penned surging, indispensable lectures and essays for a wide public, with prescient, clarifying information about the future that awaits us and our children if we stick our heads in the sand. They show Klein at her most thoughtful, tracing the evolution of the climate crisis as the key issue of our time, not only as an immediate political challenge but as a spiritual and imaginative one too. Delving into topics ranging from the clash between ecological time and our culture of "perpetual now," to the soaring history of humans' ability to change rapidly in the face of grave threat, to rising white supremacy and fortressed borders as a form of "climate barbarism," this is a rousing call to action for a planet on the brink. Above all, she underscores how we can still rise to the existential challenge of the crisis if we are willing to transform our systems that are producing it, making clear how the battle for a greener world is indistinguishable from the fight for our lives. On Fire is a critical book: it captures the burning urgency of this moment, the fiery energy of a rising movement demanding change now, and lays out an inspiring vision for a sustainable future."--Provided by publisher.
