In this chapter, Boyd breaks down the severity of the climate crisis and details the disastrous future that a failure to stop the rise in global temperature makes inevitable. Boyd explains why it is unhelpful to hide the horrifying realities of the crisis and that the disturbing truths are a necessary part of climate discussions.
This chapter includes interviews with Dr. Guy McPherson and Tim DeChristopher.
McPherson is a climate scientist known as the foremost spokesperson for NTHE theory (near-term human extinction). DeChristopher is a climate activist, graduate of Harvard Divinity School, and co-founder of the environmental group Peaceful Uprising.
