Before It's Gone

Jonathan Vigliotti
Simon & Schuster
2024

Stories from the front lines of climate change in small-town America

…

Bits of daily news of rain or fire. Vigliotti pulls ecological disasters all together in one real time terrifying emergency.

Highly recommend. Scary as heck.

going to be closer to the best case scenarios when all is said and done. I keep thinking about the butterfly effect and I don't think anyone can fathom just how interactive and reliant on other forces our climate actually is. The truth is that they can't accurately predict weather a week out because of how complicated it is let alone decades. I remember last summer a comment from someone in NYC's climate task force saying the wildfire smoke from Canada was not even on their planning radar.
The Uninhabitable Earth by David Wallace-Wells had a major impact on me.
