THE FUTURE EARTH A Radical Vision for What's Possible in the Age of Warming

Narrator Gary Tiedemann delivers this expressly visionary audiobook with authority. His control of the material solves the issue of its three slightly different voices. The first, reportorial, explains the earth's overheated state. The next voice is visionary as the author imagines a future in which environmental concerns prevail. The last voice, suggestive of a "climate therapist," gives the listener adaptive tools. Be prepared--this text contains a jarring wake-up call for those who have ignored the threats of global warming. Holthaus, a meteorologist, has a positive, if spectacularly ambitious, program to save the planet from its man-made crisis. Call it the Green New Deal 2.0. Holthaus's predictions for the next three decades may not take place. But this audiobook, minimally, gives the environmentally conscious citizen a set of precepts to live by.
