Summary

Air Traps Heat explores the critical issue of climate change, focusing on how greenhouse gases impact our planet. The book examines the science behind the greenhouse effect, explaining radiative transfer and the properties of gases like carbon dioxide. It uses extensive climate data, including ice core samples and sea-level measurements, to illustrate the consequences of increasing greenhouse gas concentrations. A key insight is understanding how human activities, particularly since industrialization, have driven the exponential increase in these emissions, leading to a warming planet.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with the basic physics of the greenhouse effect and then analyzing climate data from sources like satellite observations. Major sections are dedicated to explaining the radiative properties of greenhouse gases, examining the capabilities and limitations of climate models, and evaluating observed climate trends. The book uniquely combines detailed scientific explanations with rigorous data analysis, presenting complex information in an accessible manner for a broad audience interested in environmental science.

 
Ultimately, Air Traps Heat argues that the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases, driven by human activities, is unequivocally leading to a warming planet. It culminates in a discussion of the potential impacts of climate change on various sectors, including agriculture, water resources, and human health, and explores possible pathways toward a more sustainable future. This comprehensive approach, combining scientific rigor with real-world examples, makes the book valuable for anyone seeking a clear understanding of our environmental predicament.

They delve into the many human connections to the ocean—how people live with and make their living from the waters—journeying to places as far-flung as coral reefs, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and the Arctic and Antarctic poles. At Every Depth shares the stories of people from all walks of life, including scientists, coastal community members, Indigenous people, shellfish farmers, and fisheries workers. It brings together varied viewpoints, showing how scientists' research and local and Indigenous knowledge can complement each other to inform a more sustainable future. This book offers a narrative perspective on the changing oceans, letting us see how our relationships to the oceans are changing too.

    The connected world offers the potential for radical new business insights gleaned from previously unimaginable volumes of data. But business has got bogged down in the process of collecting and storing that data; money has been wasted on data lakes in which many IT departments have drowned without being able to deliver useful insights to business leaders. Big data has new and exciting answers to offer, but business leaders must first decide what questions it would like to see answered. Data may be the new oil, but to date we have only built oil depots. This book analyses the new, Fourth Wave of business transformation, which will build the refineries that turn data into useful products. Business has started from ‘data up’ and needs to start again from ‘value down’, going back to the drivers of real business value and deciding what insights would help realize that value. Only then can we begin to interrogate data with purpose.
