Summary:
It's official: apocalyptic climate predictions have finally come true. Catastrophic wildfires, relentless hurricanes, melting permafrost, and coastal flooding have given us a taste of what some communities have already experienced for far too long, yet we don't often hear the voices of the people most affected. Journalist Devi Lockwood set out to change that, traveling the world, often by bicycle, collecting first-person accounts of climate change. Over five years, covering twenty countries across six continents, Lockwood finds that ordinary people's sharing their stories does far more to advance understanding and empathy than even the most alarming statistics and studies. -- Adapted from Amazon.com.
