H is for hope : climate change from A to Z / Elizabeth Kolbert ; illustrations by Wesley Allsbrook.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

In twenty-six essays--one for each letter of the alphabet--the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sixth Extinction takes us on a hauntingly illustrated journey through the history of climate change and the uncertainties of our future.

Climate change resists narrative--and yet some account of what's happening is needed. Millions of lives are at stake, and upward of a million species. And there are decisions to be made, even though it's unclear who, exactly, will make them.

In H Is for Hope , Elizabeth Kolbert investigates the landscape of climate change--from "A", for Svante A rrhenius, who created the world's first climate model in 1894, to "Z", for the Colorado River Basin, ground z ero for climate change in the United States. Along the way she looks at Greta Thunburg's " b lah blah blah" speech ("B"), learns to fly an all- e lectric plane ("E"), experiments with the effects of extreme t emperatures on the human body ("T"), and struggles with the deep u ncertainty of the future of climate change ("U").

Adapted from essays originally published in The New Yorker and beautifully illustrated by Wesley Allsbrook, H Is for Hope is simultaneously inspiring, alarming, and darkly humorous--a unique examination of our changing world.
