Global warming and mass migrationclimate change and its impact on migration to the North /[electronic resource] :by Boris Soukharev. - Second edition. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2025. - xix, 356 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1 Signs of global warming and climate change can be seen everywhere -- 2 What will our climate be like for the rest of the 21st century? -- 3 How positive climate feedbacks amplify global warming -- 4 Why humans would not be able to stop global warming in the coming decades even if there were no climate feedbacks -- 5 Nature will bite back: even if anthropogenic emissions are reduced, positive climate feedbacks will lead to further warming -- 6 The inevitability of further warming means that adaptation is crucial, but will the global south be able to adapt? -- 7 Will the world be able to avoid global destabilization when the inevitable forced mass migration from the south to the north begins?.

This visually compelling book delves into the urgent reality of our changing climate. It explores the inevitability of global warming and its far-reaching consequences, providing convincing evidence that human actions have triggered chain reactions which we cannot stop. While increased economic activity and greenhouse gas emissions are significant contributors, the most alarming threat lies in the activation of "sleeping giants" - natural climate feedback loops that amplify warming. The thawing of permafrost, for instance, releases potent greenhouse gases, further intensifying climate change. This vicious cycle, once initiated, is difficult, if not impossible, to reverse. The book warns that the consequences of unchecked global warming will be severe, particularly for the world's most vulnerable populations. As temperatures rise, the disparity between the wealthy and secure North and the poor and unstable South will widen, leading to unprecedented mass migration from the South to the North. This massive climate migration could begin within the next one to two decades, presenting a significant challenge to global stability and cooperation. The author Dr. Boris Soukharev, a retired Associate Professor of Climatology at St. Petersburg State University, Russia, has made significant contributions to the field of atmospheric physics and climatology. With an academic career spanning international research institutions including Free University Berlin in Germany and the University of Arizona in the United States, Dr. Soukharev's work has been recognized with prestigious awards including the Academia Europaea Medal and the Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship. A former fellow of the Russian Geographical Society, the European Geophysical Society, and the American Geophysical Union, Dr. Soukharev's latest work includes this popular science book on climate change and its impacts on humanity.
