Description
It's Much Worse Than You Thought… Perhaps the most treacherous aspect of the climate crisis is its inconspicuousness and apparent slowness. The seasons change, the sea remains in its place, sometimes it rains less, sometimes more. Only in the media does a kaleidoscope of apocalypse flash by: melting permafrost, burning forests, receding glaciers, cities without water, and so on. The warming of the planet seems, in terms of everyday life, to be a random designation of disconnected disasters. The international bestseller The Uninhabitable Earth ruthlessly dismantles this impression. Journalist David Wallace-Wells read hundreds of analyses and interviewed dozens of scientists to present the inhabitants of Earth with a harsh bill: not only is everything connected to everything, but soon the crisis will manifest itself even in that yet untouched everyday life. Wallace-Wells's travelogue through the near future is thus lined with food shortages, pandemics, political collapse — and a call for change that can no longer be ignored.
