An exploration of the devastating effects of global warming—current
and future—adapted for young adults from the #1 New York Times
bestseller. This is not only an assessment on how the future will look
to those living through it, but also a dire overview and an
impassioned and hopeful call to action to change the trajectory while
there is still time. The climate crisis that our nation
currently faces, from rising temperatures, unfathomable drought,
devastating floods, unprecedented fires, just to name a few, are
alarming precursors to what awaits us if we continue on our current
path. In this adaptation for young adults from the #1 New York Times
bestseller, journalist David Wallace-Wells tells it like it is, and it
is much worse than anyone might think. Global warming is effecting the
world, if left unchecked, it promises to transform global politics,
the meaning of technology and the trajectory of human progress.
In sobering detail, Wallace-Wells lays out the mistakes and inaction
of past and current generations that we see negatively affecting all
lives today and more importantly how they will inevitably affect the
future. But readers will also hear—loud and clear—his impassioned
call to action, as he appeals to current and future generations,
especially young people. As he states: “the solutions, when we
dare to imagine them . . . are indeed motivating, if there is to be
any chance of preserving even the hope for a happier
future—relatively livable, relatively fulfilling, relatively
prosperous, and perhaps more than only relatively just.”
