Description
With the world gripped in panic surrounding the outbreak of COVID-19 or Coronavirus, a search for the underlying causes to the pandemic has become critically important. This book dives into the wet markets of Asia, examines ecosystems pushed to the breaking point, and observes the ferocity of bushfires, hurricanes, and melting icecaps. Eight Lessons from the Coronavirus Crisis intertwines personal experiences and animated travel experiences with extreme weather events, in the search for a greater understanding of our fragile planet. Through investigating scientific findings, this short book presents facts in a cohesive and playful manner and separates out "fake news." We observe the battlelines between nature and humanity and draw parallels between the pandemic and another looming health crisis--global warming. It offers actions and directions readers can implement and highlights strategies policymakers can adopt for a collectively healthier planet.
Borders have been barred shut as the concern about the spread of the virus rises. As cars, planes, and transportation grind to a halt, the skies of heavily polluted cities began to experience a breath of fresh air. Remarkably, coronavirus has had a positive short-term impact on carbon emissions. The cities of Delhi and Beijing are waking to rare blue skies instead of being choked by smog. Thousands of individual cars and planes have been parked or grounded. Collectively, they have a significant global impact. As an example, one of the lessons from this book is, "Don't underestimate your impact on the world."
A witty and insightful introduction to the repercussions of coronavirus
Through careful and detailed examination, Eight Lessons delineates scientific fact from "fake news."
A poignant contemporary reflection on the pandemic affecting us all
