توضیحات
The present book offers a compelling sketch of how technological advances have shaped humankind?s evolution and how they can unlock ways to combat climate change and environmental threats. It also reveals new perspectives on climate change and sustainable development by harnessing technology. Given today?s conditions, only a homeless vegan could achieve a sustainable ecological footprint. In reality, it would be impossible, and even destructive, to attempt to save the planet by discontinuing consumption. It would disrupt evolution and threaten the driving forces of the technology that is our hope for combating climate change and environmental threats in the future. This is the opinion of Rune Westergard, engineer, entrepreneur, and environmental debater, with several decades of experience from the field of environmental and energy technology. He challenges many established truths on consumption and sustainability and demonstrates how and why they are flawed. From his point of view, both continued global growth and increased welfare are entirely possible within the ecological limitations of our planet. Once we learn to put technology to our best advantage, one planet will be enough. Read more…

کتاب حاضر طرحی قانعکننده از چگونگی شکلدهی پیشرفتهای فنآوری به تکامل نوع بشر و چگونگی باز کردن راههایی برای مبارزه با تغییرات آب و هوا و تهدیدات محیطی ارائه میدهد. همچنین چشم اندازهای جدیدی را در مورد تغییرات آب و هوا و توسعه پایدار با استفاده از فناوری نشان می دهد. با توجه به شرایط امروزی، فقط یک گیاهخوار بی خانمان می تواند به ردپای زیست محیطی پایدار دست یابد. در واقع، تلاش برای نجات سیاره با قطع مصرف غیرممکن و حتی مخرب خواهد بود. این امر تکامل را مختل می کند و نیروهای محرکه فناوری را تهدید می کند که امید ما برای مبارزه با تغییرات آب و هوا و تهدیدات زیست محیطی در آینده است. این نظر رون وسترگارد، مهندس، کارآفرین و مناظره محیط زیست با چندین دهه تجربه در زمینه فناوری محیط زیست و انرژی است. او بسیاری از حقایق ثابت شده در مورد مصرف و پایداری را به چالش می کشد و نشان می دهد که چگونه و چرا آنها ناقص هستند. از دیدگاه او، هم رشد مداوم جهانی و هم افزایش رفاه در محدودیت های اکولوژیکی سیاره ما کاملاً امکان پذیر است. وقتی یاد بگیریم که از فناوری به بهترین نحو استفاده کنیم، یک سیاره کافی خواهد بود. بیشتر بخوانید…
