"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."
Via Diane A, who quoted:
Since the rise of human civilization, we have cut down half of the trees in
the world, wiped out more than two thirds of the wildlife, and filled the
oceans with plastics, as well as initiating a potential mass extinction and
a climate catastrophe. We have begun destabilizing the very life support
systems we all depend on. We are, in other words, sawing off the branch
we’re living on. — Greta Thunberg
