《热与愤怒:在气候暴力前线》
'A landmark work on perhaps the essential question of our time' - David Wallace-Wells, author of The Uninhabitable Earth
In this ground-breaking book, environmental journalist, Peter Schwartzstein, takes the reader on the first on-the-ground exploration of climate change's contribution to global conflict. From the ravaged villages of Iraq, where ISIS has used drought as a recruiting tool and weapon of terror, to the pirate-ridden waters of Bangladesh - and drawing on more than a decade of reporting from dozens of countries - Schwartzstein writes about the unexpected ways in which climate change is feeding global unrest and conflict. Through the stories of the soldiers, farmers, spies and others affected around the world, he makes sense of a form of conflict that remains poorly understood, even as it devastates the lives of so many millions of people.
While researching this book, Schwartzstein was chased by kidnappers, detained by police and told, in no uncertain terms, that he was no longer welcome in certain countries. Yet, as he recounts, these personal brushes with violence are simply a hint of the conflict simmering in our warming world.
As Schwartztein's unparalleled reporting shows, there's nothing inevitable about climate violence. In fact, as he sets out, the same stresses that are pitching people against one another can even help bring them back together.
'可能这个时代最核心问题的里程碑之作' - David Wallace-Wells,《不适宜地球》作者
在这本 groundbreaking 的书中,环境新闻记者彼得·施瓦茨申斯坦带领读者踏上气候变化对全球冲突贡献的第一手探索之旅。从伊拉克饱受战争蹂躏的村庄出发,ISIS 用干旱作为招募工具和恐怖武器;再到孟加拉国海盗出没的海域 - 施瓦茨申斯坦通过报道了数十个国家超过十年的经历,讲述了气候变化如何以意想不到的方式加剧全球动荡与冲突。通过世界各地受此影响的人士的故事,他解释了这种仍被了解甚少的形式的冲突。
在研究这本书的过程中,施瓦茨申斯坦曾遭到绑架者追逐、警察拘留,并被告知某些国家不再欢迎他。然而,正如他所描述的那样,这些与暴力擦肩而过的生活经历,仅仅只是我们正逐渐升温的世界中正在爆发的冲突的冰山一角。
正如施瓦茨申斯坦卓越的报道显示的那样,气候变化暴力并不是不可避免的。事实上,他明确指出,导致人们彼此对立的压力同样能够帮助他们重新团结在一起。
