About this listen

The international best seller.

There's a new story in the making, one in which the consequences of our actions add up - and every contribution is meaningful.

If climate change is the biggest threat humanity has ever faced, then why are we doing so little? Will the corona pandemic make it worse or better? And where do we go from here?

Drawing on the latest climate science, Jelmer Mommers helps you find hope in the midst of the climate crisis. He describes how we got here, what possible futures await us and how you can help to truly make a difference.

Critic Reviews

"Climate change is a story so often told in the future tense. But Mommers roots it firmly in the present. The problem, the consequences and the solution - right here, right now." (Leo Hickman, editor of Carbon Brief)

"At a time when despair, malign fabrication and partisanship are combining to prevent vital action, How Are We Going To Explain This is a much-needed, joyful, clear and practical companion...it could save your planet. Give it to your friends and colleagues - it's their planet, too." (A. L. Kennedy)

all should read this book

I started reading this book with a mindset of there is no hope but this book shows that there is hope and what we can do to ensure climate change is reversed.
