Facing Up to Climate Reality by John Foster
The book explores how transformative adaptation might enable us to confront escalating climate chaos while not giving up hope.
“Readers of this fascinating book are brought closer to the truth that world temperatures will rise this century to levels only experienced on the planet many millions of years ago, long before homo sapiens; and that catastrophe is therefore almost-inevitably impending” Mayer Hillman, father of carbon rationing and author of 'How We Can Save the Planet' (Penguin, 2004); “This important new collection brings the trademark radicalism of Green House to the climate crisis. The authors set out an array of bold and hopeful ideas, consider how facing up to climate disasters can kindle new green shoots of community, and explore the psychology of climate communication. The book both pursues climate honesty rigorously and offers hope for the future.” Caroline Lucas MP, author of 'Honourable Friends? Parliament and the Fight for Change' (Portobello Books, 2015)
John Foster teaches philosophy at Lancaster University. His most recent book is `After Sustainability: Denial, Hope, Retrieval’ (Routledge, 2014).
