As one hottest day/month/year follows one after the other, as wildfire seasons get ever longer with increasingly destructive fires, and as the planet is afflicted with ever stronger floods, hurricanes, and droughts it has become glaringly obvious to all but the hardened skeptic that global warming is very real and that our efforts to combat it have been ineffective.

On the brink of a critical moment in human history, this audiobook presents a vision of "planetary stewardship"—a rethinking of our relationship with our planet—and plots a new course for our future.
