A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
We still have time to change the world. From climate activist Greta
Thunberg, comes the essential handbook for making it happen.
You might think it's an impossible task: secure a safe future for life
on Earth, at a scale and speed never seen, against all the odds. There
is hope - but only if we listen to the science before it's too late.
In The Climate Book, Greta Thunberg has gathered the wisdom of over
one hundred experts - geophysicists, oceanographers and meteorologists;
engineers, economists and mathematicians; historians, philosophers and
indigenous leaders - to equip us all with the knowledge we need to
combat climate disaster. Throughout, illuminating and often shocking
grayscale charts, graphs, diagrams, photographs, and illustrations
underscore their research and their arguments. Alongside them, she
shares her own stories of demonstrating and uncovering greenwashing
around the world, revealing how much we have been kept in the dark. This
is one of our biggest challenges, she shows, but also our greatest
source of hope. Once we are given the full picture, how can we not act?
And if a schoolchild's strike could ignite a global protest, what could
we do collectively if we tried?
We are alive at the most decisive time in the history of humanity.
Together, we can do the seemingly impossible. But it has to be us, and
it has to be now.
