Excellent- More about Fragile Earth: Writing from the New Yorker on Climate Change
The New Yorker's "The Fragile Earth" is a classic collection of reporting from the front lines of the climate emergency, featuring some of the best writing on global warming from the last three decades. It is heroically prescient and promises to bring light and heat to the emergency of our age.

In 1989, just one year after climatologist James Hansen first testified before a Senate committee, warning that the Earth was warmer than ever recorded in history due to human consumption of fossil fuels, New Yorker writer Bill McKibben published a groundbreaking and deeply reported piece on climate change and its potential consequences for the planet. At the time, the piece was considered speculative and even alarmist, but in hindsight, McKibben's work stands as a heroically prescient vision. Since then, the New Yorker has dedicated substantial coverage to climate change, exploring its causes, the political and ecological conditions we find ourselves in, and the range of scenarios and solutions we face.
The Fragile Earth: A Story of Climate Change takes readers on a journey from Greenland to the Great Plains, and into both laboratories and rainforests, providing a comprehensive account of climate change's past, present, and future. The book features some of the finest writing on global warming from the past three decades, including Bill McKibben's seminal essay "The End of Nature," which popularized the science and politics of climate change for a general audience. It also includes the Pulitzer Prize-winning work of Elizabeth Kolbert, as well as contributions from Kathryn Schulz, Dexter Filkins, Jonathan Franzen, Ian Frazier, Eric Klinenberg, and many others.
The result of this collective effort is a remarkable book that promises to shed light on the urgent and pressing emergency of our time. With its wide-ranging scope, deep analysis, and passionate tone, The Fragile Earth is a testament to the power of journalism to inform and inspire action. It serves as a reminder that we must confront the challenges of climate change head-on and work together to create a sustainable future for ourselves and future generations.
