Waldbrände und Wirbelstürme hinterlassen immer größere Schneisen der Verwüstung. Sturzbachartige Regenfälle führen zu verheerenden Fluten, von Dürren geplagte Regionen werden unfruchtbar. Der Klimawandelist überall zu spüren. Die Folge: In den letzten zehn Jahren hat sich die weltweite Migration verdoppelt, und in den kommenden Jahrzehnten werden buchstäblich Milliarden von Menschen aus ihrer Heimat vertriebenwerden. Die preisgekrönte Journalistin Gaia Vince zeigt, wie sich durch Klimamigration unsere Versorgung mit Nahrungsmitteln, unsere Städte und unsere Politik verändern werden - und was nun zu tun ist.

We all know our planet is in crisis, and that it is largely our fault. But all too often the full picture of change is obstructed by dense data sets and particular catastrophes. Struggling with this obscurity in her role as an editor at Nature, Gaia Vince decided to travel the world and see for herself what life is really like for people on the frontline of this new reality. What she found was a number people doing the most extraordinary things.<BR><BR>During her journey she finds a man who is making artificial glaciers in Nepal along with an individual who is painting mountains white to attract snowfall; take the electrified reefs of the Maldives; or the man who's making islands out of rubbish in the Caribbean. These are ordinary people who are solving severe crises in crazy, ingenious, effective ways. While Vince does not mince words regarding the challenging position our species is in, these wonderful stories, combined with the new science that underpins Gaia's expertise and research, make for a persuasive, illuminating - and strangely hopeful - read on what the Anthropocene means for our future.
