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.
