Every day the news is filled with stories of extreme weather that threatens our cities, our health, our futures: tornadoes wiping out whole communities; droughts that ignite catastrophic wildfires; storms flooding roads and destroying infrastructure; rising water levels that jeopardize entire nations. Just as World War II raised an existential threat that united Americans in a common cause, the dangers of climate change, as investor and environmentalist Tom Steyer sees it, is similarly challenging all of our previously held notions of the future—and our only hope is to unite together to take action in a collective movement akin to a war effort. Steyer has been on the forefront of the climate war for well over a decade, putting millions of his own dollars into research and practice regarding sustainable climate solutions. In this accessible book—aimed at reaching everyone from Wall Street investors to college students—he explains why investment and action on the climate front will not only be our key to a healthy and sustainable future but also an investment in the future of our economy. Written with former Obama speechwriter and New York Times bestselling writer David Litt, Steyer tells his own story of coming to understand the urgency of climate action and also, in short, interstitial chapters, showcases the inspiring work of people on the front lines, whose innovative approaches provide hope for our future. The urgency to act is imperative—and time is running out—and yet Steyer feels confident that we will win this war, precisely because there has never before been a moment more necessary or more rewarding to come together to secure a healthy future for ourselves, future generations, and the planet.Topic: Law & Politics, Science Nature & MathRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
