Summary

In the two centuries we have burned fossil fuels, industrialized nations have helped create the swiftest spike in average global temperatures ever recorded. Global warming leaves us teetering on the edge of one of the most critical, large-scale crises in human history-a crisis that may doom the human species or invert global power structures. How will we react and adapt?
