"A collection of the New Yorker's groundbreaking reporting from the front lines of climate change-including writing from Bill McKibben, Elizabeth Kolbert, Ian Frazier, Kathryn Schulz, and more"-- Provided by publisher.
"Just one year after the climatologist James Hansen testified, in 1988, before a Senate committee that the Earth was warmer than it had ever been in recorded history--and that human consumption of fossil fuels was to blame--the New Yorker writer Bill McKibben published a deeply reported and considered essay, "The End of Nature." At the time, the piece seemed to some speculative, even alarmist. Today it is considered a prescient, seminal work--explaining both the science and the politics of climate change for a general audience. in the decades since, The New Yorker has devoted enormous attention to the causes of the climate crisis, its political and ecologiccal effects, and the solutions that may still be within reach. The Fragile Earth tells the story of climate change--its past, present, and future--taking readers from Greenland to the Great Plains, into laboratories and through rain forests."--inside jacket.
