Ten years after his internationally bestselling book The Weather Makers, Chief Councillor Tim Flannery’s new book, Atmosphere of Hope: Searching for Solutions to the Climate Crisis, argues that Earth’s climate system is approaching a crisis. Catastrophe is not inevitable, but time is fast running out.

In the lead-up to the United Nations Climate Change Summit to be held in Paris in December, Atmosphere of Hope provides both a snapshot of the trouble we are in and an up-to-the-minute analysis of some of the new possibilities for mitigating climate change that are emerging now.
