Three guides to navigating the climate emergency.

Global warming has made environmentalists of us all. Yet, for many, the huge implications of the issue make it almost impossible to develop an appropriate response: Do we need to give up meat and flying? Do we urgently need new technology? Or are we too late to do anything about it?

Mann, “How To Avoid A Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need” by Bill Gates and “What If We Stopped Pretending?" by Jonathan Franzen that all claim to have an answer to climate change’s most difficult questions.
