«Losing Earth: The Decade We Could Have Stopped Climate Change» is Nathaniel Rich's essay, published by Picador in hardcover (256 pages, in English).
Nathaniel Rich reconstructs the 1980s, when science already knew the essentials about global warming and the opportunity to sign binding treaties still existed. The essay follows scientists and politicians who tried to seize that window and analyzes why no action was taken, connecting that failure to the current climate situation.
The text was published in 2018 and this Picador edition came out in April 2019. It was a finalist for the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award and nominated for the Brooklyn Public Library Literary Prize.
For readers interested in climate science, environmental history and American politics of the 1980s.
