The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming
by David Wallace-Wells
"Best case outcome we will see death and suffering at the scale of 25 holocausts. Worst case puts us on the brink of extinction."
If you enjoy living on planet earth and would like to stay here a little longer, then you most definitely must read this book. From the deputy editor of New York Magazine (and previously The Paris Review) David Wallace-Wells unsurprisingly writes a profound, thought-provoking, terrifying, brutal yet honest portrait of climate change and our pretty certain future.
The opener just gives you an insight into our reality "It is worse, much worse, than you think.." based on the decades of climate science that is right in front of us all, Wallace-Wells tells it straight, with the aim of pulling the reader out of complacency. We now know, without reading this book, that we can't reverse or stop climate change but hopefully with the science that The Uninhabitable Earth presents it'll jerk us into trying to avert us from mass extinction and to managing the warming and understanding that we will all have to come to terms with living in a very different world in merely the next three decades.
This book will stay with me for a very long time!
