A New York Times New & Noteworthy Book

One of the Daily Beast’s 5 Essential Books to Read Before the Election

A collection of the New Yorker’s groundbreaking reporting from the front lines of climate change—including writing from Bill McKibben, Elizabeth Kolbert, Ian Frazier, Kathryn Schulz, and more

Just one year after climatologist James Hansen first came before a Senate committee and testified that the Earth was now warmer than it had ever been in recorded history, thanks to humankind’s heedless consumption of fossil fuels, New Yorker writer Bill McKibben published a deeply reported and considered piece on climate change and what it could mean for the planet. 

At the time, the piece was to some speculative to the point of alarmist; read now, McKibben’s work is heroically prescient. Since then, the New Yorker has devoted enormous attention to climate change, describing the causes of the crisis, the political and ecological conditions we now find ourselves in, and the scenarios and solutions we face. 

The Fragile Earth tells the story of climate change—its past, present, and future—taking readers from Greenland to the Great Plains, and into both laboratories and rain forests. It features some of the best writing on global warming from the last three decades, including Bill McKibben’s seminal essay “The End of Nature,” the first piece to popularize both the science and politics of climate change for a general audience, and the Pulitzer Prize–winning work of Elizabeth Kolbert, as well as Kathryn Schulz, Dexter Filkins, Jonathan Franzen, Ian Frazier, Eric Klinenberg, and others. The result, in its range, depth, and passion, promises to bring light, and sometimes heat, to the great emergency of our age.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A must-read." — Daily Beast

“Immersive and engaging . . . Reading three decades of essays on this important and urgent topic, one is appalled that we know so much and have repeatedly done so little with that knowledge, as well as simultaneously hopeful and skeptical that technological solutions can save us now.” — Library Journal

“Illuminating and powerful . . . a memorable book with a resounding message.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

A collection of great writers focusing on deep reviews of climate crisis topics. Makes you yearn to explore further and start to believe we may pull it off. But the big bad wolf is still out there...

4.0 out of 5 stars The New Yorker on Climate Change
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2021
This is a collection of various articles by The New Yorker about Climate Change. It contains essays by Johnathan Franzen and other famous writers. The articles cover air, land and water ecosystems all over the world and how climate change is drastically changing it. Two I found very interesting are the receding glaciers in the Himalayas that endangers seven million people in the lowlands who depend on the water from the mountains. There’s also an article on the flooding during Hurricane Sandy in New York City.
