| Abstract |
Jahren, a geobiologist, has written an impassioned open letter to humanity as we stand at the crossroads of survival and extinction. Our enterprising spirit has tamed wild crops, cured diseases, and sent us to the moon-- but that spirit has created excesses that are quickly warming our planet to dangerous levels. Jahren takes us through the science behind the key inventions that, even as they help us, release untenable amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. She explains the current and projected consequences of greenhouse gases, and shares the science-based tools that could help us fight back. -- from 2020 edition jacket |
