Лестер Браун - Как избежать климатических катастроф?: План Б 4.0: спасение цивилизации краткое содержание
В этой книге Лестер Браун утверждает, что не мировой терроризм, не ядерное или химическое оружие, а именно голод, наступающий в том числе из-за изменения климата, — главная угроза для мира. Угроза вполне реальная: прекращен экспорт зерна из России, мировые цены на пшеницу выросли в два раза. Если и другие крупные экспортеры понесут сравнимые потери из-за природных катаклизмов, всемирный продовольственный кризис будет неизбежен.
У Лестера Брауна, лауреата премии ООН в области охраны окружающей среды, есть план по спасению человечества от гибели. Его суть — снижение потребления (продуктов питания и энергоресурсов), восстановление земельных, водных и биоресурсов Земли, переход на новую, экологически безопасную экономическую модель жизни, глобальная структурная реформа госуправления. Идеи Брауна, изложенные в этой книге, могли бы показаться утопическими — если бы богатейшие люди Америки (вроде Билла Гейтса или Уоррена Баффета), раньше других заметившие угрозу, не вкладывали бы в их реализацию миллиарды.
Для широкого круга читателей.
