Hot: Living Through the Next Fifty Years on Earth

For twenty years, Mark Hertsgaard has investigated global warming as a journalist, but the full truth did not hit home until he became a father and, soon thereafter, learned that climate change had already arrived, with impacts bound to worsen for decades to come. Hertsgaard's daughter, now six years old, is part of what he has dubbed "Generation Hot," the two billion young people worldwide who will spend the rest of their lives coping with climate disruption. Drawing on reporting from around the world, Hot is as much a father's cry against climate change as a call to action. Hertsgaard injects hope and solutions into a debate characterized by doom and gloom, and he offers a blueprint for how all of us - parents, communities, countries - can navigate an unavoidable new era.
