Some people reject the fact, overwhelmingly supported by scientists, that our planet is warming because of human activity. But do those of us who accept the reality of human-caused climate change truly believe it? If we did, surely we would be roused to act on what we know. Will future generations distinguish between those who didn't believe in the science of global warming and those who said they accepted the science but failed to change their lives in response?
In We Are the Weather , Jonathan Safran Foer explores the central global dilemma of our time in a surprising, deeply personal, and urgent new way. The task of saving the planet will involve a great reckoning with ourselves--with our all-too-human reluctance to sacrifice immediate comfort for the sake of the future. We have, he reveals, turned our planet into a farm for growing animal products, and the consequences are catastrophic. Only collective action will save our home and way of life. And it all starts with what we eat--and don't eat--for breakfast.

Jonathan Safran Foer explores the central dilemma of time in a surprising, creative, and urgent new way. People have, he reveals, turned the planet into a farm for growing meat, and the consequences are catastrophic. With the future of homes at stake, the time has come to consider how descendants will judge one's actions at this crucial moment. Collective action is needed. People might be able to pull it off, and it all starts with what they eat, and don't eat, for breakfast and lunch.
