Climate Change: Nonfiction

As he travels across twelve countries and reports from the front lines, acclaimed journalist Jeff Goodell employs fact, science, and on-the-ground journalism to show vivid scenes from what already is becoming a water world, in The Water Will Come: Rising Seas, Sinking Cities, and the Remaking of the Civilized World. In Extreme Cities: The Peril and Promise of Urban Life in the Age of Climate Change, Ashley Dawson argues that cities are ground zero for climate change, contributing the lion’s share of carbon to the atmosphere, while also lying on the frontlines of rising sea levels. Peter Wadham’s A Farewell to Ice: A Report from the Arctic is based on five decades of research and observation, a haunting and unsparing look at the melting ice caps, and what their disappearance will mean.
