Bill McKibben's Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet

[MountainLaurel]

Anyone else reading this? What do you think? I've long thought we've fucked up the planet beyond help, but to have the fact that the consequences of climate change are being felt now as opposed to in some future generation isn't something I've pondered much but that I now realize is absolutely accurate.

1. It is making me depressed

but I am told he offers much needed optimism toward the end.
Great read and very relevant.

2. Just finished it

and I agree that it's a great read, and oh-so-timely. I liked that he focused on the proactive: things we can do to adapt and survive. It made me feel less out of control that I had reading the beginning of the book.
