| austin weather history 2022: The Heat Will Kill You First Jeff Goodell, 2023-07-11 New York Times best-selling journalist Jeff Goodell presents a masterful, bracing (David Wallace-Wells) examination of the impact that temperature rise will have on our lives and on our planet, offering a vital new perspective on where we are headed, how we can prepare, and what is at stake if we fail to act. “When heat comes, it’s invisible. It doesn’t bend tree branches or blow hair across your face to let you know it’s arrived…. The sun feels like the barrel of a gun pointed at you.” The world is waking up to a new reality: wildfires are now seasonal in California, the Northeast is getting less and less snow each winter, and the ice sheets in the Arctic and Antarctica are melting fast. Heat is the first order threat that drives all other impacts of the climate crisis. And as the temperature rises, it is revealing fault lines in our governments, our politics, our economy, and our values. The basic science is not complicated: Stop burning fossil fuels tomorrow, and the global temperature will stop rising tomorrow. Stop burning fossil fuels in 50 years, and the temperature will keep rising for 50 years, making parts of our planet virtually uninhabitable. It’s up to us. The hotter it gets, the deeper and wider our fault lines will open. The Heat Will Kill You First is about the extreme ways in which our planet is already changing. It is about why spring is coming a few weeks earlier and fall is coming a few weeks later and the impact that will have on everything from our food supply to disease outbreaks. It is about what will happen to our lives and our communities when typical summer days in Chicago or Boston go from 90° F to 110°F. A heatwave, Goodell explains, is a predatory event— one that culls out the most vulnerable people. But that is changing. As heatwaves become more intense and more common, they will become more democratic. As an award-winning journalist who has been at the forefront of environmental journalism for decades, Goodell’s new book may be his most provocative yet, explaining how extreme heat will dramatically change the world as we know it. Masterfully reported, mixing the latest scientific insight with on-the-ground storytelling, Jeff Goodell tackles the big questions and uncovers how extreme heat is a force beyond anything we have reckoned with before. |
| austin weather history 2022: Ringmaster Abraham Josephine Riesman, 2023-03-28 INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NPR’s 2023 Books We Love “Riveting, essential reading.” —Rick Perlstein, author of Reaganland The definitive biography of Vince McMahon, former WWE chairman and CEO, charts his rise from rural poverty to the throne of one of the world’s most influential media empires—and features never-before-seen research and exclusive interviews with more than 150 people who witnessed, aided, and suffered from his ascent. Even if you’ve never watched a minute of professional wrestling, you are living in Vince McMahon’s world. In his four decades as the defining figure of American pro wrestling, McMahon was the man behind Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, John Cena, Dave Bautista, Bret “The Hitman” Hart, and Hulk Hogan, to name just a few of the mega-stars who owe him their careers. For more than twenty-five years, he has also been a performer in his own show, acting as the diabolical “Mr. McMahon”—a figure who may have more in common with the real Vince than he would care to admit. Just as importantly, McMahon is one of Donald Trump’s closest friends—and Trump’s experiences as a performer in McMahon’s programming were, in many ways, a dress rehearsal for the 45th President’s campaigns and presidency. McMahon and his wife, Linda, are major Republican donors. Linda was in Trump’s cabinet. McMahon makes deals with the Saudi government worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And for generations of people who have watched wrestling, he has been a defining cultural force. Accessible to anyone, regardless of wrestling knowledge, Ringmaster is an unauthorized, independent, investigative chronicle of Vince McMahon’s origins and rise to supreme power. It is built on exclusive interviews with more than 150 people, from McMahon’s childhood friends to those who accuse him of destroying their lives. Far more than just an athletics or entertainment biography, Ringmaster uses Vince’s story as a new lens for understanding the contemporary American apocalypse. |

| austin weather history 2022: Richard Coke: Texan Rosser Newton, 2024-10-18 Richard Coke played one of the most crucial roles in Texas history. His leadership of his beloved Texas still resonates today – 150 years after he became governor. Richard Coke: Texan weaves a rich mosaic of real people and events that immerses the reader in the life and times of Richard Coke. Richard Coke brought Texas out of Reconstruction following the Civil War and is often credited for restoring democracy to the state after this perilous time. Richard Coke: Texan is his story – one in which a young Virginia lawyer emigrates to a Texas frontier village and changes history. It follows Coke as he starts a new life in Waco, Texas, serves in the Civil War, endures the hardships of Reconstruction, and is called into service as governor to rebuild the state and return rights to local government and the people of Texas. The story of Coke and his legislature taking office is one of the more spectacular in Texas history, with Coke’s predecessor, Edmund Davis, engaging armed forces to occupy the Capitol to remain in office. But the true story is the leadership shown by Coke as a committed citizen, an honored soldier, a dedicated governor, then as a respected senator—the results of which still impact the government of Texas today. Before the advent of digital technology, much of the record of this time was inaccessible to researchers. Authored by Rosser Coke Newton, Sr., an indirect descendant of the governor, the book is enriched by first-person accounts, Coke family records, Richard Coke’s direct correspondence, as well as actual events documented by journals and debates from constitutional conventions, the Secession Convention, and legislative sessions. These are supplemented by newspaper articles, census records, city directories, and a myriad of other sources of information compiled at the time. These sources have been combined into Richard Coke: Texan which not only delivers a rich history of the era, but a personal look at one of Texas’ greatest leaders. |

Porter, William Richard Turrell, Catherine Lovelock, 2024-02-20 This Research Topic will coincide with an international Blue Carbon Conference at the Royal Society of Edinburgh in November 2021, during the UNFCCC COP26 climate negotiations; we seek to showcase Blue Carbon as a Nature-based Solution for Climate Change, People and Biodiversity. The conference theme identifies the growing climate mitigation opportunities presented by Blue Carbon, yet also seeks to highlight the emergent research that points to the wider climate mitigation services of carbon in the marine environment - what we are calling beyond the inventory. We welcome contributions that address the science and policy dimensions of Blue Carbon, particularly where these highlight opportunities and mechanisms for the protection, restoration and creation of Blue Carbon habitats. We also welcome case-study examples that highlight successful partnerships in a wide range of international settings and would particularly encourage contributions that show-case legal, policy or investment opportunities. |
| austin weather history 2022: Stormy Weather William E. Connolly, 2024-09-03 Composed as a counter-history of western philosophical and political thought, Stormy Weather explores the role western cosmologies have played in the conquests of paganism in Europe and the Americas, the production of climate wreckage, and the concealment of that wreckage from western humanists and earth scientists until late in the day. A lived cosmology, Connolly says, contains embedded understandings about the beginnings of the earth and the way time unfolds. The text engages the major western cosmologies of Augustine, Descartes, Kant, Tocqueville, together with pagan and minor western orientations that posed challenges to them or could have. Hesiod, Ovid, William Apess, Amazonian and Aztec cosmologies, Catherine Keller’s minor Christianity, James Baldwin, and Michel Serres instigate key responses, often challenging binary logics and the subject/object dichotomy with a world of multiple human and nonhuman subjectivities. Connolly pursues a conception of time as a multiplicity of intersecting temporalities to come to terms with the vicissitudes of climate destruction and the grandeur of an earth neither highly susceptible to mastery nor designed to harmonize smoothly with humans. The book revisits the “improbable necessity” of a politics of swarming to respond to the ongoing wreckage and potential fascist responses to vast infusions of climate refugees from the south into temperate-zone capitalist states. Stormy Weather draws on the work of earth scientists, indigenous thinkers, naturalists, humanists, and students of nonwestern cosmologies. Ultimately, Connolly contends that critical intellectuals today must not remain enclosed in disciplinary silos, or even in “the humanities” as currently defined, to do justice to our moment of climate wreckage. |
| austin weather history 2022: Out of the Tub Carol A. Josel, 2024-10-11 Say the name William Howard Taft, and those who recall him at all will say he was the fat president who got stuck in a tub. But did that even happen? More importantly, how did his need for approval and pleasing others propel him first into a legal career, and then, despite hating politics, pull him into the White House and beyond? Find out, too, about the three most influential people in his life: his strict, legal-minded father Alphonso, ambitious wife Nellie, determined to one day be First Lady, and closest friend of all, Theodore Roosevelt, who ultimately mocked and betrayed him. At its heart, Out of the Tub is a story of great love, conflict, sacrifice, and service, a personal, behind-the-scenes look at “Big Bill” whose goodwill, hearty laugh, and good humor endeared him to the public, the many events and choices that shaped his life. Both progressive and conservative in his thinking, he stood firmly behind the Constitution and the rule of law, earning him both applause and criticism. Admittedly thin-skinned, the many harsh words hurled his way, hurt deeply but didn’t stop him. No wonder, then that, in the end, The New York Times described him as “the most human President who ever sat in the White House.” |

| austin weather history 2022: Treading on Thin Air Elizabeth Austin, 2016-04-15 Weather, water, and climate. How we feel, how productive we are, even our sheer existence, depends on these three things. The United States' economic activity varies annually by 1.7% due to weather—that is more than $500 billion dollars each year. Weather applications on mobile devices are the second most popular apps—more popular than social networking, maps, music, and news.In Treading on Thin Air, Dr. Elizabeth Austin, a world-renowned atmospheric physicist, reveals how the climate is intimately tied to our daily lives. The effects and impacts of weather on humans, society and the planet are changing with the times. Dr. Austin will demystify climate change, revealing what is really happening with our climate and why, whether it is El Nino, tornadoes, floods or hurricanes.Weather and society are at its most fascinating at extremes, and as Dr. Austin is one of a handful of forensic meteorologists around the globe. She has been called upon to investigate plane crashes, murders, wildfires, avalanches, even bombing cases. Drawing upon her rich experiences, Austin’s Treading on Thin Air promises to be an enlightening and informative journey through the wild word of weather. |
| austin weather history 2022: Wealth Supremacy Marjorie Kelly, 2023-09-12 This powerful analysis explains how the bias toward wealth that is woven into the very fabric of American capitalism is damaging people, the economy, and the planet and explores what the foundations of a new economy could be. This bold manifesto exposes seven myths underlying wealth supremacy—the bias that institutionalizes infinite extraction of wealth by and for the wealthy and is the hidden force behind economic injustice, the climate crisis, and so many other problems of our day: The Myth of Maximizing—No amount of wealth is ever enough. The Myth of Fiduciary Duty—Corporate managers' most sacred duty is to expand capital. The Myth of Corporate Governance—Corporate membership must be reserved for capital alone. The Myth of the Income Statement—Income to capital must always be increased, while income to labor must always be decreased. The Myth of Materiality—Profit—that is, material gain-alone is real, while social and environmental damages are not. The Myth of Takings—The first duty of government must be the protection of private property. The Myth of the Free Market—There should be no limits on the sphere of influence of corporations and capital. Kelly argues instead for the democratization of ownership: public ownership of vital services, worker-owned businesses, and more. And she sketches the outlines of a nonextractive capitalism that would be subordinate to the public interest. This is an ambitious reimagining of the very foundations of our economy and society. |
| austin weather history 2022: Becoming Weather Sarah Wright, 2024-09-17 Following a relational, Indigenous-led approach grounded in 25 years of collaborative work, this book looks to weather and climate, tracing the embodied, emplaced and affective ways weather co-constitutes people, place and time/s raising critical questions of ethics, politics and becoming. Becoming weather leads the reader through a reflexive engagement with weather, seeking to shed light on pressing issues around climate change and its entanglements: from the body where contours of weather are intimately felt and known, to the ways that agencies of weather are implicated in the construction of nations, to global topologies of climate (in)justice. Reflecting on deep and ongoing collaborative work undertaken with Indigenous-led research collectives in Australia and the Philippines, the book traces contours of response-ability, learning from weathery relationships to speak back to constructions of climate that see it as aer nullius, belonging to no-one, and that deny ongoing responsibilities, becomings and belongings. The book aims to support more-than-human and relational understandings of weather that situate us all within an ethics of differential cobecoming and that demand attention to the connections that bind and co-constitute. The book is intended for those interested in thinking differently about weather and climate, particularly those who feel an urgent dissatisfaction with mainstream responses and understandings. It will be beneficial for those who would learn from weather, from and with place, in ways led by Indigenous scholars and their allies though an engaged, reflexive, more-than-human and ethnographic account. It does not shy away from critical engagement, nor the changes desperately needed to learn and unlearn, to attend to positionalities and responsibilities, and to engage with what it means to weather on unceded Indigenous land. |
| austin weather history 2022: Climate of Contempt David Spence, 2024-08-06 Why is the United States struggling to enact policies to reduce carbon emissions? Conventional wisdom holds that the wealthy and powerful are to blame, as the oligarchs and corporations that wield disproportionate sway over politicians prioritize their short-term financial interests over the climate’s long-term health. David B. Spence argues that this top-down narrative misses a more important culprit—with critical consequences for the energy transition. Climate of Contempt offers a voter-centric, bottom-up explanation of national climate and energy politics, one that pinpoints bitter partisanship as the key impediment to transitioning to a net zero carbon future. Members of Congress respond to voters whose animosity toward the opposing party makes compromise politically risky. The most powerful driver of polarization, in turn, is the mixture of ideology and social media that constitutes today’s information environment, which amplifies anger, spreads half truths and falsehoods, and sows division, distorting voters’ understandings of the energy transition and their fellow citizens. Spence explores the effects of polarization, partisanship, and propaganda on energy policy and considers how to build a broader climate coalition. He contends that cooperation on this crucial issue is still possible, but it will require sustained person-to-person engagement across ideological and partisan boundaries to foster a more productive dialogue. Providing a timely and incisive understanding of the politics of the energy transition, Climate of Contempt suggests new paths forward and offers hope for a net-zero future. |
| austin weather history 2022: Seven Games: A Human History Oliver Roeder, 2022-01-25 A group biography of seven enduring and beloved games, and the story of why—and how—we play them. Checkers, backgammon, chess, and Go. Poker, Scrabble, and bridge. These seven games, ancient and modern, fascinate millions of people worldwide. In Seven Games, Oliver Roeder charts their origins and historical importance, the delightful arcana of their rules, and the ways their design makes them pleasurable. Roeder introduces thrilling competitors, such as evangelical minister Marion Tinsley, who across forty years lost only three games of checkers; Shusai, the Master, the last Go champion of imperial Japan, defending tradition against “modern rationalism”; and an IBM engineer who created a backgammon program so capable at self-learning that NASA used it on the space shuttle. He delves into the history and lore of each game: backgammon boards in ancient Egypt, the Indian origins of chess, how certain shells from a particular beach in Japan make the finest white Go stones. Beyond the cultural and personal stories, Roeder explores why games, seemingly trivial pastimes, speak so deeply to the human soul. He introduces an early philosopher of games, the aptly named Bernard Suits, and visits an Oxford cosmologist who has perfected a computer that can effectively play bridge, a game as complicated as human language itself. Throughout, Roeder tells the compelling story of how humans, pursuing scientific glory and competitive advantage, have invented AI programs better than any human player, and what that means for the games—and for us.

| austin weather history 2022: 熱浪會先殺死你 傑夫．古戴爾Jeff Goodell, 2024-08-01 當熱浪來襲，它無形無跡。 熱浪不會折彎樹枝，也不會吹動髮絲拂過臉龐，讓你知道它來了。 ……感覺太陽就像槍管瞄準你。 熱浪將造成糧食危機、全球疫情，動物大遷徙，甚至某種不公不義的種族隔離…… 我們將進入全新的氣候跟能源模式！ ★紐約時報暢銷書╳《經濟學人》年度選書★ 熱浪就像某種意義上的燒殺擄掠，最脆弱的人會先被除掉。 但當熱浪愈來愈強，愈來愈普遍，在淘汰人口時會更一視同仁…… ◆ 熱使得自然世界重新排列，疾病演算法將重新改寫，大規模疫情蠢蠢欲動 ◆ 當貧窮遇上極端溫度，讓許多城市的發展演變成某種溫度上的種族隔離 ◆ 絕大多數的現有建築設計，都無法應對極端氣候，都市系統也不堪一擊 ◆ 我們誤把舒適當成不可被剝奪的權利，總以為大自然的狂野力量已被馴服 ◆ 我們已經進入一個新的氣候跟能源模式，我們急需新的社會和文化轉型 ▋本書清晰描繪了一個被熱浪破壞的世界，以及，我們該如何為此作好準備！ 全世界正意識到一種新的事實：野火成為美國加州的季節性現象，高緯度地區冬季的降雪逐年減少，北極與南極的冰層加速融化。氣候危機引發各種衝擊，熱是驅動這種過程的一級威脅。隨著溫度上升，我們的政府、政治、經濟、價值觀，都出現斷層。其實，基本的科學並不複雜：我們明天停止燃燒化石燃料，全球溫度明天就會停止上升。我們五十年後停止燃燒化石燃料，全球溫度五十年後才會停止上升，但這將使得部分地球變成人類幾乎無法居住的地區。要如何做，取決於我們。地球愈熱，斷層會愈裂愈深，愈裂愈寬。 《熱浪會先殺死你》述說地球正在朝著何種極端方向改變。本書告訴我們，為什麼現在的春天會提早幾個星期來到，秋天會晚幾個星期降臨，以及為什麼這會衝擊一切事物，從我們的糧食供應到疾病爆發。這本書還說到，地球溫度上升將促使大遷徙的發生，不論是人類、動物、植物……，包括工作、財富、疾病都將跟著移動。古戴爾說，熱浪就像燒殺擄掠的事件，最脆弱的人會先被除掉。但情勢正在改變，當熱浪愈來愈強，愈來愈普遍，在淘汰人口時會更一視同仁。 我們住在科技發達的世界裡，很容易相信大自然的狂野力量已經被馴服。但也因為世界變化得如此之快，我們掌握不到自身面臨的危險的規模與急迫性。古戴爾是屢獲殊榮的記者，數十年來都站在環保新聞的最前線，本書是他到目前為止最激發人心的著作，解釋了極端高溫如何徹底改變我們所知道的世界。古戴爾運用高超的報導手法，加上最新的科學見解，以及如臨現場般的說故事技巧，為我們剖析重大問題，並且揭露極端高溫如何展現超乎想像的威力。我們已經進入一個新的氣候跟能源模式，急需新的社會和文化轉型。我們愈晚行動，代價就愈高。 ▋權威推薦： 巫師地理｜地理及國際情勢粉絲專頁 汪中和｜前中研院地球所研究員、needs Radio地球ICU節目主持人 林子倫｜國立臺灣大學政治學系副教授 許晃雄｜中央研究院人為氣候變遷專題中心 執行長 彭啟明｜環境部部長 黃貞祥｜國立清華大學 生命科學系副教授 趙家緯｜台灣氣候行動網絡 研究中心總監 鄭明典｜前中央氣象局局長 ▋媒體好評： 「讀完這本書，你將不會用同樣的方式看待世界。」 ──金．史丹利．羅賓遜（Kim Stanley Robinson），暢銷書《未來部》（The Ministry for the Future）作者 「傑夫．古戴爾透過有趣且深入的研究，全面審視了高溫對人類過去、現在和未來的重大影響，將氣候驅動的極端高溫這一主題帶入了生活。」 ──艾爾．高爾（Al Gore），美國前副總統，諾貝爾和平獎得主 「現在已經是一個新的世界，比以往更加炎熱……這是對未來的精采描述，栩栩如生，令人耳目一新。」 ──大衛．華勒斯–威爾斯（David Wallace-Wells），暢銷書《氣候緊急時代來了》（The Uninhabitable Earth）作者 「透過傑出的報導、巧妙的說故事技巧，以及引人入勝的科學解釋，古戴爾生動地說明了熱是一種重塑世界的力量……這本書熱切訴求一個更美好、更公平、更涼爽的未來，那些無法置身事外的人——也就是我們每一個人——都應該閱讀。」 ──娜歐蜜．克萊恩（Naomi Klein），暢銷書《天翻地覆》（This Changes Everything）作者 「氣候危機帶來的威脅沒有比致命的極端高溫更具大的了。《熱浪會先殺死你》的傑夫．古戴爾以精彩的故事講述、清晰的科學交流和永恆的樂觀態度，詳細描述了我們面臨的氣候危機深刻威脅以及我們仍然可以採取的措施。」 ──邁克爾．曼（Michael Mann），賓夕法尼亞大學傑出教授。《新氣候戰爭》（The New Climate War）作者 「對氣溫上升的致命後果進行了非凡的探索……這本書最大的收穫是，高溫造成的傷害不公平地落在了那些最沒有能力保護自己的人身上……不像一些氣候科學作家，他們讓讀者淹沒在數據中。古戴爾以生動的方式講述了他的故事。讀者會見到那些致力於提高人們對氣候變化認識的人們，他們透過找出哪些極端天氣事件可以歸因於氣候變化，並為穿越亞利桑那州沙漠的移民留下水來幫助受害者。或者為農場工人爭取更安全的條件而開展運動……熱浪會先殺死你，這本書真是太及時了。」 ──《經濟學人》 ▋精彩內容摘要： 序幕：適居區 極端高溫是一種我們未曾想過的力量，或許是人類創造出來的產物，但其強大程度和預示能力有如天神一般。因為所有生物都面臨同樣的命運，而且結局簡單明瞭：如果原先習以為常的溫度區間上升得太多、太快，沒有生物能夠活下來。 第一章 警世故事 如果你的身體太快變得太熱，無論是因為大熱天來自於外界的熱，或者發高燒來自於體內的熱，你的麻煩就大了。……我們住在科技發達的世界裡，很容易讓人相信自然的狂野力量已經被馴服。但也因為世界變化得如此之快，我們掌握不到自身面臨的危險的規模與急迫性。 第二章 熱如何形塑我們 和所有生物一樣，人類的體溫調節策略已經最佳化，非常適應我們過去約一萬年來生存其中的適居區。但是當前這個世界變化得太快，快到天擇都趕不上，這些策略開始落伍了。 第三章 熱島 氣候變遷讓城市面臨的風險更加嚴重：高溫、洪水、基礎設施故障、民眾流離失所。……隨著城市發展和溫度上升，鳳凰城、清奈，以及許多相似城市的未來，是一種溫度上的種族隔離……這不是我們建立一個正義、公平或和平的世界的方法。 第四章 逃亡的生命 在全球各地，氣候危機使人們四處奔波，並引發各種激烈的政治後果……移民由許多因素促成，但是缺糧和缺水一定排在前幾名，這兩種因素會由於極端高溫而變得更嚴重。 第五章 剖析犯罪現場 極端事件歸因科學誕生了。極端事件歸因是有史以來第一門考慮到法庭而發展出來的科學。科學變成一種伸張正義的工具：人們如何看待人為氣候變遷的衝擊，以及他們認為誰應該負責。 第六章 神奇谷 我們的世界正在以快速的步伐變化，而我們如何與從何處取得糧食並沒有快速應變。……如今變化莫測的天氣不只讓農民的作物更難生存，也讓農民更難決定每一年要在田裡種什麼。……隨著溫度上升，破壞全球糧食系統的風險也在上升。 第七章 暖水塊 海洋吸收的熱並沒有神奇地消失，這些熱只是儲存在海底深處，之後會再輻射出來。……海洋吸收熱再緩慢釋出，藉此減低了氣候的波動，使日夜與寒暑的溫度高低變化有所緩衝。這也代表在未來幾個世紀，熱會持續滲出，抵消人類試圖讓地球降溫的努力。 第八章 血汗經濟 富裕國家把許多經濟活動帶入室內，這些地方可以安裝空調，但是多數開發中國家的經濟依賴勞力密集的戶外工作。……熱暴露除了直接導致中暑等風險，後續還可能造成嚴重的長期健康問題。 第九章 世界盡頭的冰 音樂與酒吧，公路和交通，市中心的新建築以及湖上的船舶……全是文明的喧囂，全是生活，無一不散發熱…… 想像這座城市裡的分子振動得更快，這些分子再撞到其他分子，舞動的分子一路振動下去，最終傳到南極洲，一個如此遙遠的地方。 第十章 蚊子是我的媒介 熱使得自然世界重新排列，並將疾病演算法重新改寫。……熱浪，以及洪水與乾旱等高溫氣候事件，使得我們已知的人類傳染病，包括瘧疾、漢他病毒、霍亂、炭疽病，半數以上都變本加厲 。 第十一章 廉價冷氣 地球變得愈熱，就愈覺得需要空調，感覺愈有必要，需要的用電也愈多。只要一部分的用電是由化石燃料產生的，就代表溫室氣體汙染愈嚴重，這也會使氣候進一步暖化。……空調系統根本不是什麼降溫技術，而只是讓熱氣重新分配的工具罷了。 第十二章 隱形的東西不會傷害你 極端高溫的危險和巨大影響並未獲得應有的關注。事實上，這些危險和影響幾乎是無形的。麥克勞德認為，讓它們引人注意，可以挽救數百萬人的生命。「高溫對健康的風險正在不斷增加，如果要傳達這種風險的危險和嚴重性，替熱浪命名是最清楚不過的方法。」 第十三章 烤焦、逃跑，或行動 處於危險境界的不只是建築物本身，還有我們的歷史、文化，以及我們的身分認同。由於氣候危機正在加速，而且變成更緊急的問題，事實很殘酷，我們無法挽救所有事情。……我們已經進入新的氣候與能源典範，我們需要一種社會與文化方面的轉型，程度之大，恐怕是過去二十年當權者無法想像的。 第十四章 白熊 停止地球繼續暖化的最好方法，就是停止燃燒化石燃料，並且不再繼續排放二氧化碳到大氣中。一旦真能如此，地球的溫度將會停止上升。然後，在那之後的幾十年到幾百年當中，人類不走回頭路，不燃燒化石燃料，不再排放二氧化碳到大氣裡，地球的溫度將會逐漸下降。 尾聲：跨出適居區 寫這本書的過程中，最令我驚訝的是，我不只發現了，熱可以如何輕易且迅速地殺死你，而且發現到熱是一種強烈的提醒：我們彼此之間，以及我們與所有生物之間的連結是多麼深刻。無論我們走向何方，我們都一起踏上這趟旅程。 平裝版後記（二〇二四年） 對於全球暖化科學之父的漢森來說，二〇二三年是跨越界限的時刻。漢森預料，把地球氣候暖化限制在攝氏一點五度的目標，也就是國際間一致同意要限制危險變遷的風險的目標，在二〇二四年將被「實際超越。」 |
| austin weather history 2022: Eco-Teen Films Robin L. Murray, Joseph K. Heumann, 2024-09-06 Illuminating the impacts of environmental disasters and climate crises globally, this book examines the experiences of teens grappling with eco-disasters and issues in films of the twenty-first century. With an emphasis on teen activism, international settings and filmmakers, and marginalized perspectives, this book showcases teens on film that are struggling with present and future everyday eco-disasters amplified by climate change. By highlighting and interrogating diverse genres of teen films in which young adults encounter, address, and battle environmental issues and calamities while also struggling with adolescent development, this book acknowledges the young adult point of view missing from most critical ecocinema research and underlines connections between the more complex ‘coming-of-age’ themes found in teen films with ecocinema themes and approaches. The films examined navigate increasingly realistic conditions, even in fantastical settings, as they showcase teens’ relationships with and responses to environmental issues and eco-disasters. Emphasizing teen activism and under-represented intersectional perspectives outside Hollywood, it establishes the eco-teen film as a notable subgenre. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of film studies, ecocriticism, and environmental studies, especially those with a particular interest in ecocinema and/or ecocritical readings of films. |

| austin weather history 2022: Duval County Tejanos Alfredo E. Cardenas, 2024-10-15 In Texas, to hear the words “Duval County” evokes Archie and George Parr, politics, and corruption. But this does not represent the full truth about this South Texas county and its Tejano citizens. Duval County Tejanos accentuates the significance and meaning of place, showcasing Tejanos as historical actors, not bit players. This cultural region comprises la familia, las costumbres, la fe católica, y las comidas. And we must not leave out la política. Tejanos were engaged in community life: they organized politically, cultivated land, and promoted agriculture, livestock raising, the local economy, churches, schools, patriotic celebrations, and social activities. Americano newcomers sought to start and develop a trade economy, but Mexicanos wanted to make sure they held on to their land. The Civil War stunted economic and governmental development but did not prevent the population growing in numbers and diversity, including the arrival of Americanos in more significant numbers. Still, old-time pioneers and newcomers joined hands to build a faith community, develop schools, improve transportation, and bring commerce to serve their needs. In 1876 Duval County citizens formally petitioned Nueces County for the opportunity to organize themselves. When the railroad rolled into the county seat, San Diego, in 1879, their world changed forever. During the last quarter of the nineteenth century, the Duval County economy exhibited vitality and adaptability—sheep and cattle raising and cotton farming anchored and sustained the local economy. Moreover, Texas land programs opened opportunities to previously landless Tejano farmers. Duval County Tejanos continued to be alarmed as Americanos were cementing their political influence out of proportion to their numbers. In the 1870s Tejanos pursued organized politics to attain fairness and acquire political power corresponding to their population. In the twentieth century the political atmosphere intensified as Tejanos pushed forward their agenda of assuming their proper role, consistent with their numbers. Ultimately, the Americano actors were replaced by new faces more willing to share in the power structure, both politically and economically, and Tejanos achieved political strength commensurate with their numbers. |
| austin weather history 2022: Disaster and Human History Benjamin Reilly, 2022-03-31 Human history is periodically punctuated by natural disasters, from Vesuvius' eruption to the modern-day Covid-19 pandemic. Volcanoes have buried entire cities, earthquakes have reduced structures to smoldering ruins. Floods and cyclones have wreaked havoc on river valleys and coastlines, and desertification and climate change have weakened society's underpinnings. Death tolls are often escalated by starvation and illness, which frequently occur in tandem. This second edition assesses natural disasters on human society and the effect of strategies developed to reduce their impact. This book addresses the interconnectivity of disaster and human responsibility through 23 updated case studies, including a new chapter on the 2011 Tōhoku tsunami and the ensuing Fukushima nuclear disaster. |

| austin weather history 2022: The Founders Jimmy Soni, 2022-02-22 NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2022 BY THE NEW YORKER National Bestseller * New York Times Editors’ Choice * Financial Times “Books to Read in 2022” A SABEW BEST IN BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS FINALIST “A gripping account of PayPal’s origins and a vivid portrait of the geeks and contrarians who made its meteoric rise possible” (The Wall Street Journal)—including Elon Musk, Amy Rowe Klement, Peter Thiel, Julie Anderson, Max Levchin, Reid Hoffman, and many others whose stories have never been shared. Today, PayPal’s founders and earliest employees are considered the technology industry’s most powerful network. Since leaving PayPal, they have formed, funded, and advised the leading companies of our era, including Tesla, Facebook, YouTube, SpaceX, Yelp, Palantir, and LinkedIn, among many others. As a group, they have driven twenty-first-century innovation and entrepreneurship. Their names stir passions; they’re as controversial as they are admired. Yet for all their influence, the story of where they first started has gone largely untold. Before igniting the commercial space race or jumpstarting social media’s rise, they were the unknown creators of a scrappy online payments start-up called PayPal. In building what became one of the world’s foremost companies, they faced bruising competition, internal strife, the emergence of widespread online fraud, and the devastating dot-com bust of the 2000s. Their success was anything but certain. In The Founders: The Story of PayPal and the Entrepreneurs Who Shaped Silicon Valley, award-winning author and biographer Jimmy Soni explores PayPal’s turbulent early days. With hundreds of interviews and unprecedented access to thousands of pages of internal material, he shows how the seeds of so much of what shapes our world today—fast-scaling digital start-ups, cashless currency concepts, mobile money transfer—were planted two decades ago. He also reveals the stories of countless individuals who were left out of the front-page features and banner headlines but who were central to PayPal’s success. Described as “an intensely magnetic chronicle” (The New York Times) and “engrossing” (Business Insider), The Founders is a story of iteration and inventiveness—the products of which have cast a long and powerful shadow over modern life. This narrative illustrates how this rare assemblage of talent came to work together and how their collaboration changed our world forever. |
