Excellent- More about The 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, a mere year after climatologist James Hansen's groundbreaking testimony before a Senate committee, warning of the unprecedented warmth of the Earth due to human consumption of fossil fuels, New Yorker writer Bill McKibben penned a profoundly researched and contemplative piece on climate change and its potential consequences for our planet. At the time, the piece may have seemed speculative, even alarmist, but in hindsight, McKibben's work stands as a heroically prescient testament to the times. Since then, the New Yorker has dedicated substantial coverage to climate change, delving into its causes, the political and ecological landscape we find ourselves in, and the range of scenarios and solutions we confront.
The Fragile Earth, a captivating narrative spanning the past, present, and future of climate change, takes readers on a journey from Greenland to the Great Plains, exploring both scientific laboratories and lush rainforests. Within its pages, readers are treated to some of the finest writing on global warming from the past three decades. Notable contributions include Bill McKibben's seminal essay "The End of Nature," which introduced the science and politics of climate change to a broad audience, and Elizabeth Kolbert's Pulitzer Prize-winning work, which shed light on the urgent challenges we face. The book also features the insightful perspectives of Kathryn Schulz, Dexter Filkins, Jonathan Franzen, Ian Frazier, Eric Klinenberg, and many others.
The result of this collective effort promises to be a powerful and illuminating exploration of the climate emergency that engulfs us. With its broad scope, deep insights, and passionate tone, The Fragile Earth serves as a beacon of hope, offering illumination and sometimes heat to the urgent challenges of our time.
