Sigh. We just can‘t move beyond this, can we?
The author lays into us and tells a difficult truth. We are all complicit, but some may just be sociopathic. If people in power do the opposite of what is necessary for humanity‘s survival, there must be a special place reserved for them.
pickThis book recounts an infuriating history from the 1970s to 1990s when politicians failed humanity and scientists failed to express our existential crisis in a meaningful, change inducing way. This was published in 2019 when politics in the US were at an all-time low for the environment. Our current president has made some advances to implement a “Green New Deal” through the IRA and BIL legislation. I hope these efforts start to make a difference.

This is one I had to take my time with. A bit technical at times, but an interesting read.

Seems like a good time to talk about this book again. This is my neighborhood this morning, and surrounding areas have seen historic flooding. This is just a little from Hurricane Debbie‘s rain bands. Yesterday morning: massive earthquake in Japan. 6 Tornadoes occurred in this area this week, and are happening in NY too. Call it a hoax all you want. A dying planet stops for no one. Remember: project 2025 calls to end all climate change⬇️
#CoverLove Day 10: #Green. I inherited a fair number of climate-change-themed, ecojustice books from a friend who has left our university to teach at Indiana in the fall. Will miss him but grateful to have his books for safekeeping.
pickFantastic listen. Should be required reading.
