The Uninhabitable Earth

En savoir plus sur le livre

If your anxiety about global warming centers on sea-level rise, you are only beginning to understand the potential horrors ahead. In California, wildfires rage year-round, destroying homes, while across the US, "500-year" storms wreak havoc monthly, displacing millions. This is just a glimpse of the impending changes, which are accelerating rapidly. Without a fundamental shift in how billions live, parts of the Earth could become nearly uninhabitable by the end of this century. The author vividly illustrates the climate crises we face—food shortages, refugee emergencies, and other challenges that will reshape our world. The impact of warming will extend beyond environmental changes, affecting politics, culture, technology, and our historical perspective. It will permeate nearly every aspect of human life as we know it. This work serves as both a reflection on the devastation we have caused and a passionate call to action. Just as past generations faced the brink of disaster, the responsibility to avert catastrophe now lies with a single generation.
