Klima-Feedback-Loops sind sich selbst verstärkende Kreisläufe. Drehen sie sich zu lange, können wir sie selbst dann nicht mehr stoppen, wenn wir jede CO2-Emission einstellen. Dann machen sie diesen Planeten ganz von selbst unbewohnbar. Und einige dieser Loops drehen sich bereits… Greta Thunberg und der Dalai Lama zeigen in diesem auf einem Gespräch zwischen ihnen basierenden Buch mit Hilfe mehrerer international renommierter Wissenschaftler nicht nur die Gefahr, die von den Klima-Feedback-Loops ausgeht. Sie haben auch eine gute Nachricht: Wir können diese Loops nicht nur stoppen, wir können sie sogar umdrehen und damit die Erde und ihre Atmosphäre wieder in ihren ursprünglichen natürlichen Zustand versetzen.
