This book was released on 2019-08-14 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le prix Nobel d’économie 2018 analyse la politique et l’économie des questions environnementales majeures de notre temps et trace la voie vers de véritables solutions. Le changement climatique est en train de modifier notre monde en profondeur, et ce, de diverses façons qui entraînent des risques dantesques pour les sociétés humaines et les systèmes naturels. Nous sommes entrés dans le « Casino climatique » et avons lancé les dés du réchauffement, avertit William Nordhaus. Mais nous avons encore le temps de tourner les talons et de sortir de ce casino. Dans cet ouvrage essentiel, l’auteur explique comment y parvenir. Convoquant toutes les problématiques importantes qui s’articulent autour du débat sur le climat, Nordhaus décrit les aspects scientifiques, économiques et politiques en jeu... ainsi que les mesures nécessaires pour réduire les dangers du réchauffement climatique. Dans des termes accessibles à tout citoyen engagé et en prenant soin de présenter avec objectivité différents points de vue, il expose le problème de bout en bout : du début, le réchauffement trouvant son origine dans notre utilisation individuelle de l’énergie, à la fin, les sociétés employant les réglementations, taxes ou subventions pour réduire les émissions de gaz responsables du changement climatique. Nordhaus propose une analyse nouvelle des raisons pour lesquelles les premières politiques, telles que le protocole de Kyoto, ont échoué à diminuer les émissions de dioxyde de carbone et autres gaz à effet de serre. Il démontre en quoi des approches neuves peuvent s’avérer fructueuses et quels outils politiques réduiront le plus efficacement les émissions. En résumé, il clarifie un problème central de notre époque et indique les prochaines mesures cruciales à prendre pour ralentir le réchauffement planétaire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to provide a better understanding of how human cultures interact with climate change over an extended period of time. It is an analysis of the past and present, ranging from the first human migration to contemporary organizational management using an approach developed by Michel Foucault, defined as: the research, the practice, the experience, by which the subject operates on themselves the transformations necessary in order to have access to the truth. This book consists of two parts. The first part focuses on climate change and the substantial effects it had on the first human cultures. The second part explores the role of organizations and the development of new frameworks for action in more recent times of anthropogenic climate change.
Download or read book J aime New York 2nd Edition written by Eloise A. Brière and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-01-16 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raquette Lake, Ausable River, Lake Bonaparte—despite the number of French place names scattered across the state, New York's rich and compelling French history has received less attention over the years than its English and Dutch heritage. Aiming to correct this imbalance, J'aime New York, 2nd Edition offers information on the French who have explored, settled, and visited New York State, revealing the unique characteristics of the French presence in each of the state's seven major regions: Capital District, Lower Hudson, Metropolitan, North Country, Thousand Islands, Central, and Western. Readers of this bilingual guide will discover that New York's French connections link it to Europe, Canada, and even the Caribbean, and the facing French text will enable all students of French to check and increase their grasp of the language and vocabulary. Students and teachers will find that discovering the hidden aspects of local and regional history make learning much more meaningful, and this engagement with local history may inspire further research, since the final chapters of the French influence in New York have yet to be written.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is profoundly altering our world in ways that pose major risks to human societies and natural systems. We have entered the Climate Casino and are rolling the global-warming dice, warns economist William Nordhaus. But there is still time to turn around and walk back out of the casino, and in this essential book the author explains how.div /DIVdivBringing together all the important issues surrounding the climate debate, Nordhaus describes the science, economics, and politics involved—and the steps necessary to reduce the perils of global warming. Using language accessible to any concerned citizen and taking care to present different points of view fairly, he discusses the problem from start to finish: from the beginning, where warming originates in our personal energy use, to the end, where societies employ regulations or taxes or subsidies to slow the emissions of gases responsible for climate change./DIVdiv /DIVdivNordhaus offers a new analysis of why earlier policies, such as the Kyoto Protocol, failed to slow carbon dioxide emissions, how new approaches can succeed, and which policy tools will most effectively reduce emissions. In short, he clarifies a defining problem of our times and lays out the next critical steps for slowing the trajectory of global warming./DIV

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a Nobel Prize–winning pioneer in environmental economics, an innovative account of how and why “green thinking” could cure many of the world’s most serious problems—from global warming to pandemics Solving the world’s biggest problems—from climate catastrophe and pandemics to wildfires and corporate malfeasance—requires, more than anything else, coming up with new ways to manage the powerful interactions that surround us. For carbon emissions and other environmental damage, this means ensuring that those responsible pay their full costs rather than continuing to pass them along to others, including future generations. In The Spirit of Green, Nobel Prize–winning economist William Nordhaus describes a new way of green thinking that would help us overcome our biggest challenges without sacrificing economic prosperity, in large part by accounting for the spillover costs of economic collisions. In a discussion that ranges from the history of the environmental movement to the Green New Deal, Nordhaus explains how the spirit of green thinking provides a compelling and hopeful new perspective on modern life. At the heart of green thinking is a recognition that the globalized world is shaped not by isolated individuals but rather by innumerable interactions inside and outside the economy. He shows how rethinking economic efficiency, sustainability, politics, profits, taxes, individual ethics, corporate social responsibility, finance, and more would improve the effectiveness and equity of our society. And he offers specific solutions—on how to price carbon, how to pursue low-carbon technologies, how to design an efficient tax system, and how to foster international cooperation through climate clubs. The result is a groundbreaking new vision of how we can have our environment and our economy too.
