Reviews
There is both urgency and agency in addressing our climate crisis. Read Climate Travels by Mike Gunter to understand why. Gunter takes us on a journey around the United States where we see both the dire threats Americans face and the rays of light that illuminate a path forward. Read this book and feel empowered to make a difference. -- Michael E. Mann, Presidential Distinguished Professor, University of Pennsylvania, and author of <i>The New Climate War</i> Gunter shows us in striking detail the impacts of climate change on neighborhoods, cities, and towns across the United States and then contrasts those images with stories of what communities and individuals are doing to ameliorate those impacts. This book should be read by the skeptical, the ambivalent, and those looking to enhance their efforts to deal with climate change. -- Eileen Claussen, founder of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions Gunter's work is thoroughly grounded in science and policy combined with the appealing sense of a conversation. I really enjoyed reading Climate Travels, traveling to these different locales in such engaging and well-informed company. -- James Barilla, author of <i>My Backyard Jungle</i> and <i>Naturebot</i> This solid offering from Gunter… makes for an urgent overview of the ways climate change is reshaping the U.S. * Publishers Weekly * Gunter poses and answers three questions: where is climate change impacting localities around the United States, how bad is it, and what can be done about it? He addresses these existentially profound matters with ease in Climate Travels, offering a well-documented, up-to-date status report. -- Mark Hineline, author of <i>Ground Truth: A Guide to Tracking Climate Change at Home</i>
