The Water Will Come

Jeff Goodell’s “The Water Will Come” is a chilling wake-up call about the looming threat of rising seas. Through vivid storytelling and meticulous research, Goodell takes us on a global journey, from Miami to Venice, revealing the stark realities of climate change. I found myself captivated by his interviews with scientists, politicians, and everyday people grappling with an uncertain future. The book left me both unsettled and oddly hopeful, pondering our capacity to adapt in the face of nature’s unstoppable force.

The Uninhabitable Earth

In “The Uninhabitable Earth,” David Wallace-Wells delivers a chilling wake-up call about the looming climate crisis. With unflinching clarity, he paints a vivid picture of our planet’s future if we continue on our current path. I found myself both fascinated and terrified by his descriptions of potential food shortages, economic collapse, and refugee crises. Wallace-Wells’ urgent prose left me feeling simultaneously overwhelmed and motivated to take action. This isn’t just another dry climate book – it’s a haunting glimpse into a future we must fight to avoid.
