Description

This book highlights an often-overlooked factor in climate change: water and its movements through ecosystems. While greenhouse gases are known to heat the planet, the interaction between water, plants, and the atmosphere plays a much more significant role in regulating and cooling the climate. Through processes like photosynthesis and the biotic pump in large forests, water cycles stabilize weather and irrigate continents. By understanding these dynamics, we can confront the climate crisis with new, powerful strategies.

Healthy ecosystems, both on land and in oceans, are key to stabilizing the climate. This book provides the scientific background, referencing James Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis and indigenous wisdom, to offer a fresh perspective on addressing climate change. It proposes strategies for shifting the current climate narrative and outlines the scale and speed of action required to prevent societal collapse.

The book also offers specific methods for individual and collective action, calling for a global movement to regenerate the planet. Supported by a Digital Earth platform, billions can unite to restore the biosphere and stabilize societies. It presents a hopeful roadmap, showing how people can take meaningful action to mitigate climate change and build a better future for generations to come.
