Description
This is a book for anyone who finds it difficult to believe in a better future. It’s the most uplifting book I’ve read all year
This is a book for anyone who finds it difficult to believe in a better future. It’s the most uplifting book I’ve read all year
An unmissable myth-busting book to save our planet – read it
Full of pragmatic, hopeful solutions . . . We urgently need her and people like her – optimists who’ll say: you know what, we can turn this around; look at these numbers, look at these solutions
An antidote to the hyper-pessimism that pervades climate discourse
I love Hannah Ritchie... I love this book. I emerged from it feeling hopeful, which is a high-priced commodity these days
That all is not lost and that there is hope is the main message to take away from this well-argued, well-evidenced book
Full of “radical hope” digging behind the doomsday predictions to find out ways we can and will make the world a better place
There is real peril in our widespread failure to understand just how much human lives have been improved through societal efforts . . . As Ritchie demonstrates, a better future for both people and planet is possible and even achievable
It is rare to find a book covering climate change with such an optimistic message . . . An admirable feat . . . a highly readable guide to fixing the planet
Ritchie dismantles many of the worst predictions of ecological doomism, lays out clearly what is already happening, and what tools we have available to us to halt the worst environmental destruction
Ritchie makes it clear that progress is already happening... Now, we must keep that momentum going
An inspiring data-mine which gives us not only real guidance, but the most necessary ingredient of all: hope
With comprehensive data and sometimes counterintuitive conclusions, Hannah Ritchie does for the environment what Hans Rosling did for health . . . I hope people around the world read this book, understand our planet isn’t a lost cause, and get inspired to help fix it
Invigorating, inspiring, often surprising
It shines with practicality and positivity . . . Let's get it into the hands of as many policy makers, politicians and fellow citizens as possible
Such a clear-eyed view of the state we're in
Hopeful… highly readable
Useful, timely and inspiring
