Book Description: 'Americans and Climate Change: Closing the Gap Between Science and Action' explores the complex relationship between science and action in addressing climate change. The author argues that while there is a wealth of scientific research on the topic, there remains a significant gap between what we know and what we do to address the problem. The book examines the reasons for this gap and offers practical solutions to bridge it, emphasizing the importance of understanding the technological process of developing modern knowledge as the key to the survival of humanity and the unity of people in a warring state. The book begins by discussing the history of climate change research, highlighting the major milestones and discoveries that have shaped our current understanding of the issue. It then delves into the various factors that contribute to the gap between science and action, including political polarization, economic interests, and the challenges of communicating scientific information to the public. The author also explores the role of technology in addressing climate change, examining the potential benefits and limitations of different approaches such as renewable energy, carbon capture and storage, and geoengineering. The second half of the book focuses on the need for a personal paradigm shift in how we perceive and interact with technology. The author argues that we must move beyond simply consuming technology and instead embrace it as a tool for empowerment and self-determination. This requires a deeper understanding of the technological process of developing modern knowledge and its implications for society.
«Американцы и изменение климата: сокращение разрыва между наукой и действиями» исследует сложные отношения между наукой и действиями в решении проблемы изменения климата. Автор утверждает, что, хотя существует множество научных исследований по этой теме, остается значительный разрыв между тем, что мы знаем, и тем, что мы делаем для решения проблемы. Книга рассматривает причины такого разрыва и предлагает практические решения для его преодоления, подчеркивая важность понимания технологического процесса развития современных знаний как ключа к выживанию человечества и единству людей в воюющем государстве. Книга начинается с обсуждения истории исследований изменения климата, освещая основные вехи и открытия, которые сформировали наше текущее понимание проблемы. Затем он углубляется в различные факторы, которые способствуют разрыву между наукой и действиями, включая политическую поляризацию, экономические интересы и проблемы передачи научной информации общественности. Автор также исследует роль технологий в решении проблемы изменения климата, исследуя потенциальные выгоды и ограничения различных подходов, таких как возобновляемые источники энергии, улавливание и хранение углерода и геоинженерия. Вторая половина книги посвящена необходимости персональной смены парадигмы в том, как мы воспринимаем технологии и взаимодействуем с ними. Автор утверждает, что мы должны выйти за рамки простого потребления технологий и вместо этого принять их в качестве инструмента для расширения возможностей и самоопределения. Это требует более глубокого понимания технологического процесса развития современных знаний и его последствий для общества.
«Americani e cambiamenti climatici: ridurre il divario tra scienza e azione» esplora le complesse relazioni tra scienza e azione per affrontare il cambiamento climatico. L'autore sostiene che, sebbene ci siano molti studi scientifici su questo tema, rimane un divario significativo tra ciò che sappiamo e ciò che stiamo facendo per risolvere il problema. Il libro affronta le cause di questo divario e offre soluzioni pratiche per superarlo, sottolineando l'importanza di comprendere il processo tecnologico di sviluppo della conoscenza moderna come chiave per la sopravvivenza dell'umanità e l'unità umana in uno stato in guerra. Il libro inizia con un dibattito sulla storia della ricerca sul cambiamento climatico, ripercorrendo le principali fasi cardine e scoperte che hanno formato la nostra attuale comprensione del problema. Poi si approfondisce in diversi fattori che contribuiscono alla disparità tra scienza e azione, tra cui la polarizzazione politica, gli interessi economici e i problemi di trasmissione delle informazioni scientifiche al pubblico. L'autore indaga anche sul ruolo della tecnologia nell'affrontare il cambiamento climatico, esplorando i potenziali benefici e i limiti di diversi approcci, come le energie rinnovabili, la cattura e lo stoccaggio del carbonio e la geoingegneria. L'altra metà del libro è dedicata alla necessità di cambiare paradigma nel modo in cui percepiamo e interagiamo con la tecnologia. L'autore sostiene che dovremmo andare oltre il semplice consumo di tecnologie e invece accettarle come strumento per aumentare le opportunità e l'autodeterminazione. Ciò richiede una maggiore comprensione del processo tecnologico di sviluppo della conoscenza moderna e delle sue implicazioni per la società.
