‘In crystalline prose, Wallace-Wells provides a devastating overview

of where we are in terms of climate crisis and ecological destruction,

and what the future will hold if we keep on going down the same

path. Urgently readable, this is an epoch-defining book’ – Guardian

Without a revolution in how billions of humans conduct their lives,

parts of the Earth could become close to uninhabitable, and other

parts horrifically inhospitable, as soon as the end of this century.

In his travelogue of our near future, David Wallace-Wells brings into

stark relief the climate troubles that await – food shortages, refugee

emergencies, and other crises that will reshape the globe. But the

world will be remade by warming in more profound ways as well,

transforming our politics, our culture, our relationship to technology,

and our sense of history. It will be all-encompassing, shaping and

distorting nearly every aspect of human life as it is lived today.

The Uninhabitable Earth is both a meditation on the devastation we

have brought upon ourselves and an impassioned call to action.
