The Uninhabitable Earth. A Story of the Future David Wallace-Wells

‘I belie v e in 

engagement [his emphasis] a b o v e all, e n g a g e m e n t w h e r e v e r it m a y help. In fact, I find any other response to the climate crisis morally incomprehensible.’

Sir David Attenborough, the inspirational Swedish student Greta Thunberg, and the innovative activists of Extinction Rebellion have shown us that engagement is possible and essential. Writing this review has increased my own engagement, and reading it might do the same for you. We owe it to our children and grandchildren — and to all the generations who follow them. Whether their planet remains hospitable to any kind of humane civilization is largely down to us.
