Praise for The Uninhabitable Earth The Uninhabitable Earth is the most terrifying book I have ever read.
For just as the world was brought to the brink of catastrophe within the span of a lifetime, the responsibility to avoid it now belongs to a single generation - today\'s.
The Uninhabitable Earth is also an impassioned call to action.
An "epoch-defining book" (The Guardian) and "this generation\'s Silent Spring" (The Washington Post), The Uninhabitable Earth is both a travelogue of the near future and a meditation on how that future will look to those living through it - the ways that Warming promises to transform global politics, the meaning of technology and nature in the modern world, the sustainability of capitalism and the trajectory of human progress.
If your anxiety about global Warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible - food shortages, refugee emergencies, climate wars and economic devastation. - Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon With a new afterword It is worse, much worse, than you think. #1 New York Times Bestseller - The Uninhabitable Earth hits you like a comet, with an overflow of insanely lyrical prose about our pending Armageddon
