Summary:
"Greta Thunberg has gathered the wisdom of over one hundred experts--geophysicists, oceanographers and meteorologists; engineers, economists and mathematicians; historians, philosophers and indigenous leaders--to equip us all with the knowledge we need to combat climate disaster"-- Provided by publisher
We are alive at the most decisive time in the history of humanity. The climate disaster is one of our biggest challenges--but also our greatest source of hope. Once we are given the full picture, how can we not act? In this collection of essays and data, over one hundred experts--geophysicists, oceanographers and meteorologists; engineers, economists and mathematicians; historians, philosophers and indigenous leaders--show us that we still have time to change the world. They equip us all with the knowledge we need to combat climate disasters. Together we can do the seemingly impossible. But it has to be us, and it has to be now. -- adapted from jacket
