Book Description Hardback. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 304 pages. Ex-libraryIt's time to stop just worrying about cl imate change, says Paul Gilding. Instead we need to brace for imp act, because global crisis is no longer avoidable. The 'Great Dis ruption' started in 2008, with spiking food and oil prices and dr amatic ecological change like the melting polar icecap. It is not simply about fossil fuels and carbon footprints. We have come to the end of Economic Growth, Version 1.0, a world economy based o n consumption and waste, where we lived beyond the means of our p lanet's ecosystems and resources. The Great Disruption offers a stark and unflinching look at the challenge humanity faces - yet also a deeply optimistic message. The coming decades will see lo ss, suffering and conflict as our planetary overdraft is paid. Ho wever, they will also bring out the best humanity can offer: comp assion, innovation, resilience and adaptability. Gilding tells us how to fight, and win, what he calls 'the One Degree War' to pre vent catastrophic warming of the earth, and how to start today. The crisis we are in represents a rare chance to replace our add iction to growth with an ethic of sustainability, and it's alread y happening. It's also an unmatched business opportunity: old ind ustries will collapse while new companies literally reshape our e conomy. In the aftermath of the Great Disruption, we will measure 'growth' in a new way. It will mean not quantity of stuff, but q uality, and happiness, of life. And, yes, there is life after sho pping. The Great Disruption is an invigorating and well-informe d polemic by an advocate for sustainability and climate change wh o has dedicated his life to campaigning for a balanced use of Ear th's limited resources. It is essential reading. Seller Inventory # 595i
