H Is For Hope

Climate change resists narrative ¿ and yet we must see clearly what¿s happening in our world. Millions of lives are at stake, and upwards of a million species. We must act.

In H Is for Hope, Elizabeth Kolbert investigates the history, and future, of climate change ¿ from A, for Svante Arrhenius, who created the world¿s first climate model in 1894, to Z, for Net Zero. Along the way she looks at Greta Thunberg¿s |blah blah blah¿ speech, flies an all-electric plane, experiments with the effects of extreme temperatures on the human body, and struggles with the deep uncertainty of the future.

Complemented by Wesley Allsbrook¿s gorgeous, colour illustrations, H Is for Hope offers an inspiring, worrying and, above all, hopeful vision for how we can still save our planet.
