The Water Will Come

Author: Jeff Goodell

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 seas are rising, and no one is really prepared for what that will mean.
