Why, after thirtyyears of international climate negotiations to reduce carbon emissions, has theUN process failed to deliver a survivable outcome? Nick Breeze goes behind thescenes at the UN COPs, from Paris to Dubai, to find out what on Earth is goingon Most people tend to turn away, perhaps understandably, from the key existential issue of the day: climate change or, somewould say more accurately, climate collapse. Nick Breeze tells the engaging, very human story ofsuccessive COP conferences over the past decade: it is a tale of imperfection, failure even, but not yet defeat. So far, the UN process has achieved almostthe exact opposite of what it first set out to achieve at the Rio Earth Summitin 1992. Nick shows clearly that it is not Extinction Rebellion, JustStop Oil nor any other climate protesters who are the extremists; the trueextremists are the policymakers who consistently undermine faltering efforts toreduce emissions. Repeatedly claiming to be saving us whilst allowing carbonemissions to continue rising, governments have failed their people on climate. Nick shows us how, why and what we can do about it. Thepublic remains largely uninformed about climate change and, for the most part, those who seek to draw attention to the issue are seen as 'crazy'. Thereremains a terrifying gap between scientific reality and political action. Packed with his own experiences and insights from expertinterviewees, this page-turning account is less about the intricacies of thescience and more about the mainstream perception of how we are understandingand responding to the problem.

How to grow and harvest an abundant supply of edible ingredients from your garden Flowers have probably been used in cooking for as long as people have been preparing and flavoring food. In China cooks were experimenting with chive flowers in 3000 BC and the Romans frequently added blooms to their dishes. Today flowers are often seen as an exotic extra, employed only by professional chefs. While we are all taking a greater interest in the provenance of our food, adding more plant-based ingredients to our diets, experimenting with growing our own vegetables and eating to follow the seasons, edible flowers remain a bit of an unknown quantity. This book demystifies the idea of eating flowers and introduces readers to a whole range of blooms, leaves, flowering herbs and edible seeds that can be home-grown and used in a new way - by adding them to food. From drying hibiscus petals to concocting a soothing tisane, harvesting nigella seeds to use in savory biscuits, or baking a lemon-scented pelargonium cake, garden-grown flowers make wonderful ingredients - and align directly with the important current message of seasonal, sustainable growing. Dunster shows how to grow an abundance of flowers to guarantee a regular and plentiful supply of chemical-free ingredients. Includes information on harvesting, drying and preserving methods, and a wide range of culinary uses and techniques.
