It’s the bible for carbon emissions — this book helps you untangle where emissions come from and explore what can make the difference. If you want facts, figures and to be more informed, then this is for you. It’s simply set out which means you can dip in and out — and offers reasoning that will help you make informed decisions in the future.

The Ministry for the Future book cover

The Ministry for the Future

Kim Stanley Robinson  ·  Orbit Books  ·  2020

Fiction — and by a master of long-form science fiction. This book shows a future where action is necessary, and where the line between the good guys and bad guys is blurred. But what will really hit you are the stark descriptions of a world with a violently changing climate, some of which are sadly already coming true. It takes some reading — maybe not for the faint-hearted — but it’s worth it.
