The Carbon Paradox: Why We Know the Truth But Still Can’t Change

We know the science. We know the stakes. And yet — the emissions keep rising. Why, in the face of overwhelming evidence, does humanity remain frozen between knowledge and action?

In The Carbon Paradox, Alex Southwick delves into one of the most unsettling questions of our age: the psychological, cultural, and political forces that make climate change both undeniable and unchangeable. Through interviews with behavioral scientists, activists, economists, and ordinary citizens, Southwick explores the hidden mechanisms of denial, distraction, and disconnection that shape our collective inaction.

But this is not a book of blame — it’s a mirror. By tracing the gap between what we know and what we do, The Carbon Paradox reveals the deeper truth: that change depends not on more information, but on reimagining who we are and what we value.

Rigorously researched and profoundly human, The Carbon Paradox is both diagnosis and invitation — a call to break through paralysis and rediscover the will to act in a warming world.
