Chinese investors are snapping up real estate in Canada. Millennials have evacuation plans. Moguls are building bunkers. Retirees in Miami are moving inland. In How to Prepare for Climate Change, bestselling self-help author David Pogue offers sensible, deeply researched advice for how the rest of us should start to ready ourselves for the years ahead. Pogue walks readers through what to grow, what to eat, how to build, how to insure, where to invest, how to prepare your children and pets, and even where to consider relocating when the time comes. (Two areas of the country, in particular, have the requisite cool temperatures, good hospitals, reliable access to water, and resilient infrastructure to serve as climate havens in the years ahead.) He also provides wise tips for managing your anxiety, as well as action plans for riding out every climate catastrophe, from superstorms and wildfires to ticks and epidemics. Timely and enlightening, How to Prepare for Climate Change is an indispensable guide for anyone who read The Uninhabitable Earth or The Sixth Extinction and wants to know how to make smart choices for the upheaval ahead.

Book Description

THE FAMILY GUIDE TO DISRUPTIVE CLIMATE CHANGE The everyday problems of family life occupy the attention and resources of most of our country%u2019s citizens. Thoughts of the future climate of our planet continue to be secondary to worries of finances and health. This Family Guide to Disruptive Climate Change is the response of an atmospheric scientist to the need for the relevant science information and guidance for adaptation and correction. In the hypothetical middle school town hall discussion of Part A, the relevant science and societal concerns for this clear and present danger to our lives is given attention in a familiar everyday manner. Participants in the discussion introduce the recent scientific observations and measurements that give clear evidence of global warming and climate change caused by the heat trapping mechanism of the greenhouse effect. An awareness is developed that human activity in producing energy and food have made significant increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and other heat-trapping gases. Discoveries of climate changes in unfamiliar remote areas of the planet are brought into the conversations. Students give thought to future adaptation problems with knowledge of present difficulties of people and animals with sea level rise and melting ice. This generation of young people becomes aware of the developing climate difficulties in their lives. A general need for corrections in energy use and production is recognized and all options for change are brought to the table. Part B of this Family Guide is an organized presentation of the necessary science, adaptations, and solutions for guidance of parents and teachers in developing an immediate response to avoid disruptive climate change.

Book Description

"This reassuring consideration of a deeply personal matter teams seamlessly with a reasoned, emphatic call to action." - Booklist, Starred Review • ABooklist Top 10 Book on the Environment & Sustainability 2024 Explore the ways in which the climate crisis is affecting our personal decisions about family planning, parenting, and political action. In The Conceivable Future, authors Meghan Elizabeth Kallman and Josephine Ferorelli explore the ways in which the climate crisis is affecting our personal decisions about family planning, parenting, and political action. This book offers fresh, timely answers to questions such as: How do I decide to have a baby when there's the threat of environmental collapse? How do I parent a child in the middle of the climate crisis? What can I actually do to help stop global warming? Drawing from their decade of work with the organization Conceivable Future, Kallman, a sociologist and Rhode Island State Senator, and Ferorelli, an activist and former Climate Bureau editor, offers both informed perspective and practical steps for taking meaningful action in combating the climate crisis, while also making smart, balanced decisions when it comes to starting and maintaining a family. First, The Conceivable Future explores what the real threats are to reproductive, gestational, and infant health (spoiler: it's inequality, heat, and fossil fueled pollution), and debunks the myths of personal carbon footprint, and the harmful legacy of population control. The authors examine the successes and impediments of women-led movements around the world and share what they've learned through ten years of organizing to bring attention to the reproductive crisis that is climate change. Finally, the book looks at what can be done about the climate crisis today. By taking these steps, we can both understand the crisis on its own terms, and stay rooted in the human scale, where our lives retain their full meaning. The Conceivable Future is a must-read for all who want to make a difference in the world--and secure a sustainable future for all our families.
