It will change how you think about the most important story of our time.\"—JEFF GOODELL, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Heat Will Kill You First\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom one of the world’s most celebrated thinkers on climate change comes a groundbreaking investigation into the human costs of extreme weather.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClimate change concerns everyone, but it does not affect us all equally. In this gripping, provocative manifesto, climate scientist Friederike Otto makes the case that the world’s most vulnerable populations are the most at risk of being impacted by climate change—though they did the least to cause it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComparing eight extreme weather events—including heat waves in North America, floods in Pakistan, droughts in Madagascar, and wildfires in Australia—Otto shows how global inequality is exacerbating the effects of climate change and exposes uncomfortable truths about the failures of political and social infrastructures around the world. In particular, Otto examines the Global North’s extractionist view of the Global South, a view that ensures elites are protected while others bear the brunt of climate disasters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn engrossing, deeply moving book, \u003ci\u003eClimate Injustice\u003c\/i\u003e shares the stories of real people, shining a light on the real damage extreme weather events inflict on real lives. Importantly, it shows how racism, colonialism, sexism, and climate change are interconnected, and how positive changes on one level can lead to positive effects on another. Authored by the co-founder of World Weather Attribution, a cutting-edge scientific method that pinpoints the role of climate change in extreme weather events, \u003ci\u003eClimate Injustice\u003c\/i\u003e offers a groundbreaking view on the fires, floods, heatwaves, and storms that are wreaking havoc at an alarming pace—as well as an essential change in perspective for how we might finally solve this crisis together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Friederike Otto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48283795652859,"sku":"9781778401633","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781778401633.jpg?v=1772486417","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/climate-injustice-9781778401633","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
