About

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.

It is not easy to imagine the future, but when it comes to climate change it's obvious what is happening across the United states and around the world. Out planet faces rising temperatures, unfathomable droughts, devastating floods, and unprecedented wildfires, among many other weather-related challenges. These are alarming precursors to what awaits us if we continue on out current path. In clear and absorbing detail, David Wallace-Wells lays out the mistakes and omissions of earlier generations that have negatively affected lives today. More importantly, he presents an impassioned call to action to this generation.

Changes are possible. We've witnessed the galvanizing activism of Greta Thunberg, and initiatives such as Fridays for Future, Extinction Rebellion, and the Sunrise Movement. Student protests in schools are becoming more frequent, and many others refuse to remain silent. But you don't have to give speeches on a world stage to effect positive change. Becoming more knowledgeable, making even small adjustments in daily life, getting involved in your school and your community to spread the word about climate change—it all makes a difference.

If you're ready to look clearly at what needs to be done and why, reading The Uninhabitable Earth will inspire you to act so that we can have the future we all deserve.
