Histoire
In This Changes Everything Naomi Klein argues that climate change isn’t just another issue to be neatly filed between taxes and health care. It’s an alarm that calls us to fix an economic system that is already failing us in many ways. Klein meticulously builds the case for how massively reducing our greenhouse emissions is our best chance to simultaneously reduce gaping inequalities, re-imagine our broken democracies, and rebuild our gutted local economies.

A major audiobook about the future of the world, blending intellectual and natural history and field reporting into a powerful account of the mass extinction unfolding before our eyes. Over the last half a billion years, there have been five mass extinctions, when the diversity of life on Earth suddenly and dramatically contracted. Scientists around the world are currently monitoring the sixth extinction, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs.

Histoire
The science on climate change has been clear for a very long time now. Yet despite decades of appeals, mass street protests, petition campaigns, and peaceful demonstrations, we are still facing a booming fossil fuel industry, rising seas, rising emission levels, and a rising temperature. With the stakes so high, why haven't we moved beyond peaceful protest?

Histoire
Farming is the world's greatest cause of environmental destruction - and the one we are least prepared to talk about. We criticize urban sprawl, but farming sprawls across 30 times as much land. We have ploughed, fenced and grazed great tracts of the planet, felling forests, killing wildlife, and poisoning rivers and oceans to feed ourselves. Yet millions still go hungry.

Description
Number-one New York Times best seller • "The Uninhabitable Earth hits you like a comet, with an overflow of insanely lyrical prose about our pending Armageddon." (Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon)
With a new afterword
It is worse, much worse, than you think. If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible - food shortages, refugee emergencies, climate wars, and economic devastation.
An "epoch-defining book" (The Guardian) and "this generation’s Silent Spring" (The Washington Post), The Uninhabitable Earth is both a travelogue of the near future and a meditation on how that future will look to those living through it - the ways that warming promises to transform global politics, the meaning of technology and nature in the modern world, the sustainability of capitalism and the trajectory of human progress.
The Uninhabitable Earth is also an impassioned call to action. For just as the world was brought to the brink of catastrophe within the span of a lifetime, the responsibility to avoid it now belongs to a single generation - today’s.
"The Uninhabitable Earth is the most terrifying book I have ever read. Its subject is climate change, and its method is scientific, but its mode is Old Testament. The book is a meticulously documented, white-knuckled tour through the cascading catastrophes that will soon engulf our warming planet." (Farhad Manjoo, The New York Times)
Praise for The Uninhabitable Earth
"Riveting.... Some readers will find Mr. Wallace-Wells’s outline of possible futures alarmist. He is indeed alarmed. You should be, too." (The Economist)
"Potent and evocative.... Wallace-Wells has resolved to offer something other than the standard narrative of climate change.... He avoids the ‘eerily banal language of climatology’ in favor of lush, rolling prose." (Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times)
"The book has potential to be this generation’s Silent Spring." (The Washington Post)
"The Uninhabitable Earth, which has become a best seller, taps into the underlying emotion of the day: fear.... I encourage people to read this book." (Alan Weisman, The New York Review of Books)
Ce que les critiques en disent
"The Uninhabitable Earth is the most terrifying book I have ever read. Its subject is climate change, and its method is scientific, but its mode is Old Testament. The book is a meticulously documented, white-knuckled tour through the cascading catastrophes that will soon engulf our warming planet.... Wallace-Wells’ imagine-the-worst approach has become prescient.... I read it with an unfolding mix of horror and hopelessness, the way you might learn of a terminal diagnosis that affects yourself and your family and everyone else you might ever hope to know.” (Farhad Manjoo, The New York Times)
“The Uninhabitable Earth is unabashedly pornographic. It is also riveting.... Some readers will find Mr. Wallace-Wells’ outline of possible futures alarmist. He is indeed alarmed. You should be, too.” (The Economist)
"Most of us know the gist, if not the details, of the climate change crisis. And yet it is almost impossible to sustain strong feelings about it. David Wallace-Wells has now provided the details, and with writing that is not only clear and forceful, but often imaginative and even funny, he has found a way to make the information deeply felt. This is a profound book, which simultaneously makes me terrified and hopeful about the future, ashamed and proud of being a human." (Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything Is Illuminated)
"David Wallace-Wells argues that the impacts of climate change will be much graver than most people realize, and he's right. The Uninhabitable Earth is a timely and provocative work." (Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction)

Author didn't get the No Future No Kids movement
It was a good read, but I was disappointed about how the author diverted the No Future No Kids movement message. Anti-natalist environmentalists propose not having kids as the most effective way to help slowing climate change at personal level – way more effective of any other life style change.
While the author calls for action countless times, he dismissed the message as a sign of giving up on the effort to save the future.

I am all for the message but poor execution
I would of liked to get behind this book and I do agree climate change is a do or die matter for the human race. However this book's execution is poor and feels very much like a long list of the most dramatic climate news stories complied from the past decade or so. Think Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" in book form but much longer and less of a through story. Too many varied topics under the climate change umbrella that the author clearly shows he does not fully understand and is no expert in. This book feels more like an opinion piece backed by examples of endless amounts of news stories and It would of been better had the author focused his topics and provided a more in-depth delivery of information.
The author in my opinion should not of narrated the book himself as it is not his strength and I found him hard to listen to for 8 plus hours.

Unlistenable thanks to author's vocal fry
May be a good book, but the decision to have the author narrate was an epic mistake. The guy has the worst case of "vocal fry" I've ever heard in a man. For anyone over the age of 25, this is like fingernails on a blackboard. Read the print version if you want; stay away from this horrible audio rendition.

Some things to consider…
A) the author’s voice is 1/10 tolerable to listen to. I would describe it as barely tolerable.
B) there are number of studies referenced that I want critical analysis of. They are referenced and then a chapter is built on them. You can buy into doomsday as much as you can buy into climate change hoax.
C) good to have this perspective

Not too bad
Unfortunately, it is just another list of what is wrong and how bad we are. Book lacks on hard since and possibilities of how hard science could help.
It is nonetheless a good and informative book that is well narrated and written.

Necessarily morbid
Very well, written, robust book on a challenging subject, that concerns potential inevitability.
It is thorough, thought out and can be a catalyst for change first on the individual level. To bring clarity to what such an important conversation has been normalized to, is essential.

Couldn’t even get close to finishing it
Literally have never felt as depressed and sleepy all at once … I believe some books are not for audio and this is definitely one of them unless you’re extremely mathematical as well as an auditive learner

Truth does not need hyperbole
I am a passionate believer in climate change, and work in a field that involves dealing with its effect. I'd like nothing more than far reaching book that convince the public of the danger of climate change.
Unfortunately the author does not let truth or data speak for itself, instead he just piles hyperbole upon hyperbole. I personally think that people who were already convinced will find very little new to learn, and people who are not convinced will find this book condescending and pretentious, which will only harden their view.

Enjoyed berry much
I enjoyed the narrator's voice and overall topic. I'll be relistening to this again. I wish more books covered the realities of global warming.
