The Uninhabitable Earth : A Story of the Future

The Uninhabitable Earth : A Story of the Future - Thryft
The Uninhabitable Earth : A Story of the Future - Thryft

Climate crisis outlined in vivid, urgent tone.

"The Uninhabitable Earth" is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of our planet. David Wallace-Wells paints a terrifying picture of what our world could look like as a result of climate change in the coming decades. His words are a call-to-action, a plea to take the crisis seriously and make significant changes to prevent catastrophe. The book's most unique feature is its unflinching honesty; no topic is too taboo for Wallace-Wells to address. A sobering but necessary read.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

**SUNDAY TIMES AND THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**

'An epoch-defining book' Matt Haig
'If you read just one work of non-fiction this year, it should probably be this' David Sexton, Evening Standard

Selected as a Book of the Year 2019 by the Sunday Times, Spectator and New Statesman
A Waterstones Paperback of the Year and shortlisted for the Foyles Book of the Year 2019
Longlisted for the PEN / E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award

It is worse, much worse, than you think.

The slowness of climate change is a fairy tale, perhaps as pernicious as the one that says it isn't happening at all, and if your anxiety about it is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible, even within the lifetime of a teenager today.

Over the past decades, the term "Anthropocene" has climbed into the popular imagination - a name given to the geologic era we live in now, one defined by human intervention in the life of the planet. But however sanguine you might be about the proposition that we have ravaged the natural world, which we surely have, it is another thing entirely to consider the possibility that we have only provoked it, engineering first in ignorance and then in denial a climate system that will now go to war with us for many centuries, perhaps until it destroys us. In the meantime, it will remake us, transforming every aspect of the way we live-the planet no longer nurturing a dream of abundance, but a living nightmare.
