SUMMARY:Jonathan Safran Foer
DESCRIPTION:Some people reject the fact\, overwhelmingly supported by scientists\, that our planet is warming because of human activity. But do those of us who accept the reality of human-caused climate change truly believe it? If we did\, surely we would be roused to act on what we know. Will future generations distinguish between those who didn’t believe in the science of global warming and those who said they accepted the science but failed to change their lives in response? \nIn We Are the Weather\, Jonathan Safran Foer explores the central global dilemma of our time in a surprising\, deeply personal\, and urgent new way. Foer argues the task of saving the planet will involve a great reckoning with ourselves and with our all-too-human reluctance to sacrifice immediate comfort for the sake of the future. We have\, he reveals\, turned our planet into a farm for growing animal products\, and the consequences are catastrophic. Only collective action will save our home and way of life. And\, he asserts\, it all starts with what we eat—and don’t eat—for breakfast. \nFoer is the author of the novels Everything Is Illuminated\, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close\, and Here I Am\, and of the nonfiction book Eating Animals. In conversation with Libby Casey\, the on-air reporter covering politics and accountability for The Washington Post. Book signing to follow.
