Ironically, it's never been harder telling the full truth about the climate emergency. That truth is so shocking. So painful. It invites rejection. But there can be no authentic hope for a better world without that truth being unflinchingly spelled out. Thanks then to Bill McGuire for doing exactly that in Hothouse Earth - and for still leaving us with plenty of reasons to be hopeful - just so long as we get our shit sorted without any further delay. -- Jonathon Porritt, environmental campaigner and author of Hope in Hell: A Decade to Confront the Climate Emergency
