Greta Thunberg une a científicos, expertos, activistas y escritores como Thomas Piketty, Margaret Atwood, David Wallace-Wells o Naomi Klein para ofrecernos la información más veraz y actualizada sobre la emergencia climática y las soluciones que todavía están en nuestras manos Ha llegado la hora de que contemos esta historia y, quizá, hasta de que le cambiemos el final. Cómo funciona el clima, cómo está cambiando nuestro planeta, cómo nos afecta, qué hemos hecho al respecto y qué debemos hacer ahora: son las preguntas a las que este libro trata de responder. Greta Thunberg, que logró dar un vuelco a la lucha contra el cambio climático con su huelga escolar de los viernes y es candidata al Nobel de la Paz, se convierte ahora en su embajadora, con el aval de la comunidad científica mundial, al crear una obra de referencia para comprender la crisis de sostenibilidad que nos aqueja. Una «Biblia del clima» en la que han colaborado los más destacados científicos, expertos, epidemiólogos, activistas, economistas, periodistas, pensadores y narradores, desde el director general de la OMS, Tedros Adhanom, hasta Thomas Piketty, Margaret Atwood, David Wallace-Wells o Naomi Klein, dando a conocer sus investigaciones y experiencias individuales y urgiéndonos a pasar a la acción si queremos conservar la esperanza. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION We still have time to change the world. From Greta Thunberg, the world’s leading climate activist, comes the essential handbook for making it happen. You might think it’s an impossible task: secure a safe future for life on Earth, at a scale and speed never seen, against all the odds. There is hope – but only if we listen to the science before it’s too late. In The Climate Book, Greta Thunberg has gathered the wisdom of over one hundred experts – geophysicists, oceanographers and meteorologists; engineers, economists and mathematicians; historians, philosophers and indigenous leaders – to equip us all with the knowledge we need to combat climate disaster. Alongside them, she shares her own stories of demonstrating and uncovering greenwashing around the world, revealing how much we have been kept in the dark. This is one of our biggest challenges, she shows, but also our greatest source of hope. Once we are given the full picture, how can we not act? And if a schoolchild’s strike could ignite a global protest, what could we do collectively if we tried? We are alive at the most decisive time in the history of humanity. Together, we can do the seemingly impossible. But it has to be us, and it has to be now.

"A must-read ecological message of hope . . . Everyone with an interest in the future of this planet should read this book." --David Mitchell, The Guardian When climate activist Greta Thunberg was eleven, her parents Malena and Svante, and her little sister Beata, were facing a crisis in their own home. Greta had stopped eating and speaking, and her mother and father had reconfigured their lives to care for her. Desperate and searching for answers, her parents discovered what was at the heart of Greta’s distress: her imperiled future on a rapidly heating planet. Steered by Greta’s determination to understand the truth and generate change, they began to see the deep connections between their own suffering and the planet’s. Written by a remarkable family and told through the voice of an iconoclastic mother, Our House Is on Fire is the story of how they fought their problems at home by taking global action. And it is the story of how Greta decided to go on strike from school, igniting a worldwide rebellion.

[...] Greta Thunberg es una mártir, nuestra Juana de Arco. Su sufrimiento nos hace querer ser mejores personas y [el libro del clima ya es] un imprescindible en cualquier librería, igual que Breve historia del tiempo de Stephen Hawking y Sapiens de Yuval Noah Harari».

Con análisis de gente tan conocida como Thomas Piketty o Naomi Klein, pero también con muchos descubrimientos y nuevas perspectivas». Manuel Rivas «Una lectura aleccionadora, el tipo de libro que, una vez terminas, no puedes olvidar». Hannah Nathanson, Elle «Greta Thunberg está de vuelta, pero esta vez no quiere que todo el protagonismo recaiga en ella sino en el movimiento por el clima y, especialmente, en las personas directamente afectadas por la crisis climática. [...] Pese a los contratiempos, el optimismo es una constante en [su] discurso». Elena G. Sevillano, El País «Me ha explotadola cabeza. Felicidades. Tu libro me ha inspirado y me ha entristecido mucho, pero nos anima a todos a actuar».

Press Association «Una hito para el mundo científico. [...] Un texto importante, asombroso y hermoso». Steven Poole, Telegraph «Un libro excelente para explicar la urgencia y la importancia de prevenir el cambio climático. [...] Os aseguro que es mucho más que un libro político». Gaia Vince, The Guardian «Greta habla para ella, para su generación, pero también para sus hijos y, más allá de los seres humanos, para la Tierra entera, en su preciosa y frágil belleza. Escuchémosla. Tal vez todavía estemos a tiempo». J. M. G. Le Clézio, Premio Nobel de Literatura «La Juana de Arco del siglo XXI, la Agustina de Aragón de todo el planeta, la nueva María Pita. De vez en cuando aparece en la historia la figura de una joven sin mácula que revoluciona su entorno por su lucha sin descanso por su causa justa». Rosa Martí, Esquire
