It is difficult to read about global heating and climate change without being pessimistic. Every new report warning that humanity is entering "uncharted territory" or exceeding our limits as a stable ecosystem can produce feelings of hopelessness and despair. Yet even as Earth roils through unprecedented heatwaves and animals like river dolphins face extinction, there is still hope that climate change can be at least partially mitigated. But the fight is far from over and it won't be easy.
John J. Berger's new book, "Solving the Climate Crisis: Frontline Reports from the Race to Save the Earth" chronicles the experiences of ordinary people fighting climate change, from business leaders, politicians and farmers to scientists, engineers and activists. Berger identifies practical, real-world solutions that can empower ordinary citizens to fight for their environment.
