Promotional Details

Average global temperatures rise while polar ice caps melt, sea levels ascend, wildfires rage, and animal species vanish. In his six-year trek around the globe, Hanna visits 32 countries, searching for solutions to the climate crisis. He interviews environmental activists and people affected by climate change. Hanna believes humans are pursuing a "path of self-inflicted extinction," emphasizing pollution, famine, water shortage, a growing world population, epidemics, deforestation, and the squandering of resources. Consider that 88-million tons of food in the European Union are wasted yearly, yet many people there go hungry. Social and economic inequality are linked to climate change. In 2019, there were 26-million refugees and 79.5-million displaced people worldwide. He reviews useful remedies, including solar power, wind energy, ecological farming, and hydroelectric power.... Science, courage, resoluteness, and empathy must lead the charge against climate catastrophe. Time is not on our side.
