This is a book for anyone who finds it difficult to believe in a
better future. It’s the most uplifting book I’ve read all year
*The Times*
An unmissable myth-busting book to save our planet – read it
*TIM SPECTOR*
Full of pragmatic, hopeful solutions . . . We urgently need her and
people like her – optimists who’ll say: you know what, we can turn
this around; look at these numbers, look at these solutions
*Guardian*
An antidote to the hyper-pessimism that pervades climate
discourse
*Financial Times*
I love Hannah Ritchie... I love this book. I emerged from it
feeling hopeful, which is a high-priced commodity these days
