Azhar Ul Haque Sario: Inferno 2025, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Imagine a future where California is engulfed in flames, not just for a season, but as a new and terrifying reality. "Inferno 2025: The Burning Future of California" isn't science fiction; it's a chilling exploration of the megafires scorching our state and the world. This book delves into the science behind these infernos, their devastating impacts on human health and the economy, and the urgent need for a new approach to living with fire. We dissect the 2025 firestorms, map the health toll of wildfire smoke, and expose the unequal burdens faced by vulnerable communities.

But it's not all doom and gloom. "Inferno 2025" also offers solutions. We explore fire-wise building, the role of citizen scientists, and the integration of Indigenous knowledge in fire management. We tackle the tough questions of managed retreat and the protection of cultural heritage in a fire-prone world. This book goes beyond the typical wildfire narrative by connecting the dots between climate change, social inequality, and the future of California. It's a call to action for policymakers, scientists, and everyday citizens to work together and forge a path towards a more fire-resilient future.
