Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Nathaniel Richs account starts in Washington in the 1990s and tells the story of how climate change could have been stopped back then, if only the powerful had acted. But they didnt want to. Observer By 1979, we knew all that we know now about the science of climate change what was happening, why it was happening, and how to stop it. Over the next ten years, we had the very real opportunity to stop it. Obviously, we failed. Nathaniel Rich tells the essential story of why and how, thanks to the actions of politicians and businessmen, that failure came about. It is crucial to an understanding of where we are today. The excellent and appalling Losing Earth by Nathaniel Rich describes how close we came in the 70s to dealing with the causes of global warming and how US big business and Reaganite politicians in the 80s ensured it didnt happen. Read it. John Simpson An eloquent science history, and an urgent eleventh-hour call to save what can be saved. Nature To change the future, we must first understand our past, and Losing Earth is a crucial part of that when it comes to the environmental battles were facing. Stylist. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR010387846

Losing Earth (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Wilmington, DE, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. By 1979, we knew all that we know now about the science of climate change - what was happening, why it was happening, and how to stop it. Over the next ten years, we had the very real opportunity to stop it. Obviously, we failed.Nathaniel Rich's groundbreaking account of that failure - and how tantalizingly close we came to signing binding treaties that would have saved us all before the fossil fuels industry and politicians committed to anti-scientific denialism - is already a journalistic blockbuster, a full issue of the New York Times Magazine that has earned favorable comparisons to Rachel Carson's Silent Spring and John Hersey's Hiroshima. Rich has become an instant, in-demand expert and speaker. A major movie deal is already in place. It is the story, perhaps, that can shift the conversation.In the book Losing Earth, Rich is able to provide more of the context for what did - and didn't - happen in the 1980s and, more important, is able to carry the story fully into the present day and wrestle with what those past failures mean for us in 2019. It is not just an agonizing revelation of historical missed opportunities, but a clear-eyed and eloquent assessment of how we got to now, and what we can and must do before it's truly too late. The most urgent story of our times, brilliantly reframed, beautifully told: how we had the chance to stop climate change, and failed. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781529015843
