The climate change is coming. To prepare for it, we need to admit that we can’t prevent it.
‘If you care about the planet, and about the people and animals who live on it, there are two ways to think about this. You can keep on hoping that catastrophe is preventable, and feel ever more frustrated or enraged by the world’s inaction. Or you can accept that disaster is coming, and begin to rethink what it means to have hope.’
The honesty and realism of Jonathan Franzen’s writings on climate have been widely denounced and just as widely celebrated. Here, in his definitive statement on the subject, Franzen confronts the world’s failure to avert destabilising climate change and takes up the question: Now what?

I drive a completely electric car. I eat as a vegetarian and my car and my house are 100% solar panel generated. I’m you constantly searching in ways to decrease my carbon footprint and yet according to this author all my efforts are in vain. This book kind of makes me feel hopeless 🤷🏻♀️
