The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming

Wallace-Wells takes every credible projection for climate change and follows it to its conclusion: the heat deaths, the crop failures, the wars over water, the cities underwater, the pandemics from thawing permafrost. He is not exaggerating. He is reporting. The chapter titles are the names of the disasters: Heat Death, The Uninhabitable Earth, Dying Oceans. A book you finish in a kind of altered state.
