He combines hard-hitting facts with compelling storytelling to make the consequences of our warming planet feel tangible. It’s a wake-up call to the realities we face but also a call to action, urging us to take responsibility for our planet’s future. If you want to better understand the climate crisis and to feel inspired to make a difference, and not just dwell in the doom and gloom, this book is a must-read."
