The author of the #1 bestseller, The Weather Makers, pens âa brilliant examination of where we are with climate change and where we might be able to goâ (The National Observer, Vancouver).  Almost two decades ago, Tim Flanneryâs #1 international bestseller, The Weather Makers, was one of the first books to break the topic of climate change out into the general conversation. Today, Earthâs climate system is fast approaching a crisis. Political leadership has not kept up, and public engagement with the issue of climate change has declined. Opinion is divided between technological optimists and pessimists who feel that catastrophe is inevitable.  Around the world people are now living with the consequences of an altered climateâwith intensified and more frequent storms, wildfires, droughts, and floods. For some itâs already a question of survival. Drawing on the latest science, Flannery gives a snapshot of the trouble we are in and more crucially, proposes a new way forward, including rapidly progressing clean technologies and a âthird wayâ of soft geo-engineering. Tim Flannery, with his inimitable style, makes this urgent issue compelling and accessible. This is a must-read for anyone interested in our global future.  âWhat Flannery providesâa convincing defense for the position that a path to averting catastrophic climate change still existsâis invaluable.â âLos Angeles Review of Books |
