The Story of More: How We Got to Climate Change and Where to Go from Here by Hope Jahren

5.0

Hope Jahren possesses the remarkable skill of explaining scientific concepts in a clear, concise, and understandable manner to the non-scientific community. In this book, she breaks down the major factors that are contributing to climate change, explaining the current state of our world, and what will happen if we don't change something soon. She is not preachy or accusatory; the Earth is a place we all have a responsibility to protect. She explains the numbers and what they mean in the coming years and why our constant need for more is problematic.

I don't read many books about climate change because they are typically dense and hard to get through. However, this book provides an in-depth and accessible approach to understanding the crisis we are dealing with and provides a starting point so that each of us can make a difference.
