“This is one of the most inspiring books I have ever read. The book
takes a hard look at the frightening realities of climate change,
but concludes that humanity can still deal with this threat.
Moreover, the book presents the existential challenge of climate
change as a unique opportunity to build a more just world and to
make ourselves better people. Most importantly, the book adopts a
very practical approach, and suggests 10 concrete actions that each
of us can take in order to create a better future for all the
residents of planet earth. I hope we all take this message to
heart.”
