"A refreshingly pragmatic and undoomy book."--The Guardian Clear, simple answers to the most common and vexing questions about climate change that we can take action on right now. We can't afford to delay climate action, but with all the shouting and disagreement, it's hard to know where to turn. In Clearing the Air, data scientist and bestselling author Hannah Ritchie answers 50 key climate questions once and for all, clearing the air so we can take action and fix things. The first piece of good news is that Ritchie is here with answers and the steps we need to take right now. Using simple, clear data, she tackles questions such as: Is it too late? Won't we run out of minerals? Aren't we too polarized? The second piece of good news: The truth is far more hopeful than you might think. We're at a critical moment for our planet, and getting the facts straight is step one. But even more crucial is feeling hopeful about what we can do next. The third piece of good news? We already have many of the solutions we need to create a more sustainable planet for future generations.

The Cloud
Written in simple language, this book can be read by anyone. You will become acquainted with the lifelong struggle of a very young boy for a scientific phenomenon in which he believes. Thanks to the science of meteorology, which he has fallen in love with, he will one day witness an unusual atmospheric phenomenon and will fight with almost the entire scientific world to prove his work and scientific research since that day. If his hypothesis is correct, tens of thousands of lives on Earth could be saved every year, and major changes could occur in the fields of physics, chemistry, atmosphere, geology, and geophysics. This book is also an example of what can be achieved with faith, perseverance, and determination in research that begins with single digits.

A Territory Under Siege
This book explores gully erosion disaster as a global phenomenon, highlighting its conceptual and practical significance within the ecosystem. It explains gully erosion formation in the context of balance of nature, ecological balance, the hydrological cycle and the Systems Theory. From a bird's eye view, this book examined the prevalence of gully erosion across the globe, their underlying causes, the impact of gullies on affected communities and territories, as well as conventional and specialized methods of gully prevention and control. More precisely, the book focused on Anambra State in South-East Nigeria as a case study, evaluating issues and factors that had given the territory the notorious label of "gully erosion capital of Africa". Applying advanced analysis, the book diagnosed the menace of gully erosion in Anambra State and made trail blazing findings. Consequently, it recommended innovative solutions that will de-escalate and reverse gullying in the territory on a sustainable basis including a four-tier universal gully classification scheme that tallies with levels of stakeholders' responsibilities that will stimulate proactive preparedness and response among diverse stakeholders. These solutions are also applicable to other resource-limited settings.

The sum of oil and gas consumption still constitutes more than half of energy consumption around the globe, necessitating the highly efficient development of such resources. Due to the success of unconventional oil and gas exploitation efforts, the USA has realized its dream of energy independence. The phenomenon sets a good example for other countries. The following Special Issue (SI) focuses on advances in efficiently developing hydrocarbon resources from subsurface formations in the ocean, and the published papers primarily focus on reservoir characterization, gas hydrate decomposition, hydrocarbon accumulation, and hydraulic fracture.

Climate Adaptation and Conflict Mitigation
As climate change intensifies, conflict-prone tropical regions face heightened vulnerabilities, yet little is known about how climate adaptation and food security efforts affect conflict dynamics. Using South Sudan - a country highly susceptible to climate stress and conflict - as a test case, this Element analyzes how international nongovernmental organizations' (INGO) climate adaptation interventions influence civil war and local social conflicts. It develops a theoretical framework linking climate adaptation to conflict, positing both positive and negative externalities. Drawing on original high-resolution data on INGO-driven adaptation and food security efforts, alongside climate, conflict, and development data, findings are substantiated with interviews from policy workers in South Sudan. The results indicate that while adaptation generally does not reduce conflict, interventions that promote preparedness and are implemented during periods of high climate stress can mitigate social conflicts between militias, pastoralists, and farmers. These insights provide guidance for designing climate adaptation strategies that reduce conflict risks.
