Item Description
Hot: Living Through the Next Fifty Years on Earth by Mark Hertsgaard
A fresh take on climate change by a renowned journalist driven to protect his daughter, your kids, and the next generation who’ll inherit the problem
For twenty years, Mark Hertsgaard has investigated global warming for outlets including theãA?A?New Yorker, NPR, Time, Vanity Fair, and The Nation. But the full truth did not hit home until he became a father and, soon thereafter, learned that climate change had already arrivedâA?A?a century earlier than forecastâA?A?with impacts bound to worsen for decades to come. Hertsgaard's daughter Chiara, now five yea rs old, is part of what he has dubbed "Generation Hot"--the two billion young people worldwide who will spend the rest of their lives coping with mounting climate disruption.
HOT is a father's cry against climate change, but most of the book focuses on s olutions, offering a deeply reported blueprint for how all of usâA?A?as parents, communities, companies and countriesâA?A?can navigate this unavoidable new era. Combining reporting from across the nation and around the world with personal reflections on his daugh ter’s future, Hertsgaard provides "pictures" of what is expected over the next fifty years: Chicago’s climate transformed to resemble Houston’s; dwindling water supplies and crop yields at home and abroad; the redesign of New York and other cities against mega-storms and sea-level rise. Above all, he shows who is taking wise, creative precautions. For in the end, HOT is a book about how we’ll survive.
Global Warming Mug
When you pour in hot liquid, the mug shows what will happen when the Polar Ice Caps melt - Before your very eyes, coastlines shrink and ocean levels rise, Florida dissolves and Central America all but vanishes. So show you care and buy a Global Warming Mug -- it won't fix the problem, but it will illustrate it in a really cool way.
3 1/4" diameter, 10oz.
Disappearing mugs are not dishwasher safe.
