Evidence tells us that there is but a narrow window of opportunity that exists at this point for preserving our 'fragile moment’.
ClimateVoices · Episode 32 · 10-06-23
An interview with Michael Mann, renowned climate scientist and Presidential Distinguished Professor of Earth & Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania with a secondary appointment in the Annenberg School for Communication. He is also director of the Penn Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media. Michael tried his best to warn all of us with his famous “hockey stick” graph illustrating the rapid increase in global warming over time.
He’s the author of several books including The New Climate War: The Fight to Take Back Our Planet, which details how fossil fuel companies have waged a thirty-year campaign to deflect blame and responsibility and delay action on climate change, and offers a battle plan for how we can save the planet. Now he’s equally on point with his latest book, Our Fragile Moment: How Lessons from Earth’s Past Can Help Us Survive the Climate Crisis, which arms readers with the knowledge necessary to appreciate the gravity of the unfolding climate crisis, while emboldening them – and others – to act before it truly does become too late.
