Climate change resists narrative—and yet some account of what’s happening is needed. Millions of lives are at stake, & upward of a million species. And there are decisions to be made, even though it’s unclear who, exactly, will make them.

In H Is for Hope, Elizabeth Kolbert investigates the landscape of climate change—from “A”, for Svante Arrhenius, who created the world’s first climate model in 1894, to “Z”, for the Colorado River Basin, ground zero for climate change in the United States. Along the way she looks at Greta Thunburg’s “blah blah blah” speech (“B”), learns to fly an all-electric plane (“E”), experiments with the effects of extreme temperatures on the human body (“T”), & struggles with the deep uncertainty of the future of climate change (“U”).

Adapted from essays originally published in The New Yorker & beautifully illustrated by Wesley Allsbrook, H Is for Hope is simultaneously inspiring, alarming, & darkly humorous—a unique examination of our changing world.
