The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming by David Wallace-Wells
The Uninhabitable Earth is a pretty scary book to read about what may be in store for us as the planet continues to warm. Sea-level rise, food shortages, and increases in conflict are just the beginning. This book takes a deep dive at the geopolitical ramifications of climate change. It is a harbinger of what could be in store for us if we can’t control the amount of greenhouse gasses entering the atmosphere. It’s definitely worth the read and takes a big-picture look at climate change across the planet.
