Author: Andrew Boyd
Narrator: Chris Bates
An existential manual for tragic optimists, can-do pessimists, and compassionate doomers. With global warming projected to rocket past the 1.5°C limit, lifelong activist Andrew Boyd is thrown into a crisis of hope, off on a quest to learn how to live with the "impossible news" of our climate doom. He searches out eight of today's leading climate thinkers—from activist Tim DeChristopher to collapse-psychologist Jamey Hecht, grassroots strategist adrienne maree brown, eco-philosopher Joana Macy, and Indigenous botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer—asking them: "Is it really the end of the world? And if so, now what?" With gallows humor and a broken heart, Boyd steers listeners through their climate angst as he walks his own. Boyd's journey takes him from storm-battered coastlines to pipeline blockades and "hopelessness workshops." Along the way, he maps out our existential options and tackles some familiar dilemmas.
