This is a Wakeup Call
From the back cover:
Lois Robin wrote a chapter in the book Climate Abandoned: We’re on The Endangered Species List. The chapter is called The Dirt on Climate Change, which the only chapter in this book on eco-restoration.
We no longer have the luxury of ignoring climate change.
“What’s really breathtaking is how ill-prepared we are for such changes.”
– Bill McKibben
“This is How Human Extinction Could Play Out,” Rolling Stone
There isn’t much time left. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has stated that the “planet has only until 2030 to stem catastrophic climate change.” Most countries are experiencing extreme drought, wildfires, floods and biodiversity loss around the world. We must act with constructive outrage now.
In Climate Abandoned: We’re on The Endangered Species List, scientists and environmental experts discuss the hard truths, causes and consequences of the climate crisis’ interconnected issues. They shed light on the greenhouse effect, declining biodiversity, our warming oceans, ideology vs. science, and other urgent topics.
At the end of each chapter, you’ll find practical tips for what you can keep doing, stop doing, and start doing to make better choices for the future. Let us move ourselves off the Endangered Species list.
There is no time to waste. Read Climate Abandoned. Learn what actions you can take, and do your part to protect our environment. You are a member of the pivotal generation.
