Donald Jacob: This Is Not an Opinion, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Why do we fail to act, even though we already know how serious the climate crisis is?

The climate crisis is not only an ecological problem. It exposes a design flaw in modern democracies: short-term interests, election cycles, and lobbying pressure often weigh more than the protection of the very foundations of our lives.

Donald Jacob traces the roots of this failure-in our political logic, our habits, and our relationship with nature. He shows that the central problem is not a lack of knowledge, but a system that treats the biosphere as something negotiable.

Against this, he sets out a concrete proposal: a constitution for the Earth, with fundamental rights for the biosphere, clear limits on exploitation, and institutions that secure our shared survival. No world government, no eco-dictatorship-but a framework for a democracy that becomes capable of the future.

A book about the blind spot of climate politics-and about how democracy can be renewed.
