Kimberly Nicholas PhD
About this listen
** Los Angeles Times bestseller **
It's warming. It's us. We're sure. It's bad. But we can fix it.
After speaking to the international public for close to fifteen years about sustainability, climate scientist Dr. Nicholas realized that concerned people were getting the wrong message about the climate crisis. Yes, companies and governments are hugely responsible for the mess we're in. But individuals CAN effect real, significant, and lasting change to solve this problem. Nicholas explores finding purpose in a warming world, combining her scientific expertise and her lived, personal experience in a way that seems fresh and deeply urgent: Agonizing over the climate costs of visiting loved ones overseas, how to find low-carbon love on Tinder, and even exploring her complicated family legacy involving supermarket turkeys.
In her astonishing, bestselling book Under the Sky We Make, Nicholas does for climate science what Michael Pollan did more than a decade ago for the food on our plate: offering a hopeful, clear-eyed, and somehow also hilarious guide to effecting real change, starting in our own lives. Saving ourselves from climate apocalypse will require radical shifts within each of us, to effect real change in our society and culture. But it can be done. It requires, Dr. Nicholas argues, belief in our own agency and value, alongside a deep understanding that no one will ever hand us power—we're going to have to seize it for ourselves.

A must read / listen
This is an educational, scary but ultimately optimistic wake-up call that everyone needs to hear. The author is an enthusiastic climate scientist who not only knows the problems and realities of climate change but gives the stark choices that we have to either preserve or destroy planet earth as a place where the only life we are aware of in the universe exists. It is the decisions taken by each one of us living today that will dictate whether our children and their children will survive.
Listen and take action now. This is our moment to make a real difference. Together we can literally save the world!
