    We have most of the technology we need to combat the climate crisis – and most people want to see more action.
     
    But after three decades of climate COPs, our global emissions are worse than ever. And we are accelerating into a Polycrisis of climate, food security, biodiversity, pollution, inequality and more. What, exactly, has been holding us back?
    What will it take for us to do better?
    In the search for answers that have been so elusive to date, Mike Berners-Lee looks at the challenge from new angles. He stands further back to gain perspective; he digs deeper under the surface to see the root causes; he joins up every element of the challenge; and he learns lessons from our failures of the past. He uses all these insights to identify the single point of greatest leverage for those seeking the systemic change we so desperately need. A Climate of Truth spells out why, if humanity is to thrive in the decades ahead, the most critical step is to raise standards of honesty in our politics, our media and our businesses. Not only is this possible, but each of us can have radically more impact on the issues we care about by turning our attention to this simple principle. 
    Anyone asking, ‘What can each of us do right now to help?’ will find inspiration in this practical and important book.

    This book explores the fascinating world of two critical fields in physics: plasma physics and fluid dynamics. Plasma, often referred to as the fourth state of matter, plays a crucial role in everything from the sun’s energy production to potential advancements in controlled fusion energy. Plasma physics investigates the behavior of ionized gases under various conditions, aiming to harness this powerful energy source. Controlled fusion, a field within plasma physics, focuses on replicating the energy-producing reactions of the sun, offering a potential solution for sustainable, clean energy. Meanwhile, fluid dynamics, the study of the movement of liquids and gases, impacts various applications from engineering and meteorology to biology. 
    This book delves into the intricate interactions between these two domains, examining how fluids and plasmas behave under different forces, temperatures, and magnetic fields. By integrating plasma physics, controlled fusion, and fluid dynamics, the text provides a comprehensive understanding of how motion and energy interact on both a micro and macro scale. The principles outlined have far-reaching implications for both theoretical research and practical applications, including energy generation, propulsion systems, and the study of natural phenomena such as weather patterns and ocean currents.
