The Uninhabitable Earth
Description
A sweeping, deeply reported examination of climate change, this book explores the far-reaching consequences of a warming planet—from food insecurity and mass displacement to political upheaval, conflict, and economic disruption. Moving beyond familiar discussions of rising seas, it presents climate change as a force capable of reshaping nature, technology, capitalism, and the course of human progress. Written in vivid, urgent prose, it combines scientific research with a meditation on how people may experience the radically altered future now taking shape. Ultimately, it is both a stark warning and a call for the present generation to act before catastrophe becomes irreversible.
