About this book
Featuring insights from influential figures like Pope Francis and Albert Gore alongside contributions from over thirty esteemed authors, Climate Chaos: Killing People, Places and the Planet charts a transformative path from despair to optimism. Grounded in rigorous scientific research, the book unflinchingly exposes the links between industries such as coal, fossil fuels, chemical factories, liquor, tobacco, and others, and their role in accelerating global warming and mass displacement. It courageously challenges climate change denialism, advocating for transparency and accountability in addressing these urgent challenges. In a time of profound despair, this book unites faith and science to forge a path towards a sustainable and livable future. Its impact resonates beyond the page, inspiring a forthcoming PBS film.
