They no longer hinge on ideological rivalries between great powers but rather on issues of class, religion and resources. The genocides of the last century have taught us how quickly social problems can spill over into radical and deadly solutions. Rich countries are already developing strategies to garner resources and keep 'climate refugees' at bay. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this major book Harald Welzer shows how climate change and violence go hand in hand. Climate change has far-reaching consequences for the living conditions of peoples around the world: inhabitable spaces shrink, scarce resources become scarcer, injustices grow deeper, not only between North and South but also between generations, storing up material for new social tensions and giving rise to violent conflicts, civil wars and massive refugee flows. Climate change poses major new challenges in terms of security, responsibility and justice, but as Welzer makes disturbingly clear, very little is being done to confront them. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The paperback edition includes a new Preface that brings the book up to date and addresses the most recent developments and trends.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements vi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 A Ship in the Desert: The Past and Future of Violence 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Climate Conflicts 8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Global Warming and Social Catastrophes 24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 A Brief Survey of Climate Change 33\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Killing Yesterday 39\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Killing Today: Ecocide 51\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Killing Tomorrow: Never-Ending Wars, Ethnic Cleansing, Terrorism, Shifting Boundaries 88\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Changed Realities 138\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 The Revival of Old Conflicts: Faiths, Classes, Resources and the Erosion of Democracy 155\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 More Violence 160\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 What Can and Cannot Be Done – 1 163\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 What Can and Cannot Be Done – 2 179\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 184\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 215\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: The environment [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on The environment\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22The%20environment%20%5BRN%5D%22\"\u003eRN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52470049669400,"sku":"9780745651460","price":11.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745651460.jpg?v=1785630262","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/climate-wars-what-people-will-be-killed-for-in-the-21st-century-paperback-softback-9780745651460","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
