The right solution by and for young people and listening to the IPCC press conference this week that started and finished on HOPE.

Everyone should do their research on this synthesis https://www.ipcc.ch/2023/03/20/press-release-ar6-synthesis-report/

We all live and work to make things better for everyone and those with vision and energy do their bit.

Adaptation and mitigation ain’t going to happen without us all.

Go Hanna Ritchie!

Hannah,

I've been reading your work in the Washington post.  Great stuff.  I look forward to the book. Couple thoughts: in my last book BREAKPOINT: Reckoning with America's Environmental Crises (Yale,)  we talk with Wm. Nordhaus and discuss how the built world is impacted by various hurricane strengths.  The discussion reminded me of what you say about earthquakes.  (Nordhaus won the Nobel for environmental economics, of course.)  And also our chapters on Katrina and natural disasters which follow the classic theme: Nature does not strike humans. Humans strike nature first, ie bad buildings, cities built in the wrong place, removing mangroves and marshes and barriers to sea level rise and tsunamis, etc. Anyway, the book sounds really good, the sooner the better.  Put us down for a review copy and we can also do an interview.  And please check out HOT GLOBE and give us a recommendation on your own Stack if you'd like.  You're in good company with Revkin and McKibben, thanks.
