Three Degrees More

At most 1.5 degrees global warming: This goal was formulated at the Paris Climate Summit in 2015. Since then, very little has happened, if anything: Co2 emissions have continued to increase. Research has long assumed that we are heading towards a world that will be three degrees warmer.

In this book, the who’s who of the scientific community, from Hans J. Schellnhuber to Jutta Allmendinger, have come together to portray the threat posed to nature and society if we reach that point. Yet, the authors do

not stop at alarmist visions of the future, and instead provide a detailed account of how we can prevent the worst by

• stopping the deforestation of rainforests
• strongly promoting reforestation, especially in the tropics
• re-irrigating drained moors
• replenishing the humus pools in the soil.
