NEW YORK 鈥� The new chief scientist at the Nature Conservancy, Katharine Hayhoe, has written a book about climate change.
One Signal Publishers announced Wednesday that Hayhoe's 鈥淪aving Us鈥� will be released Sept. 21. Hayhoe will combine research and personal stories as she attempts to unite readers, including those who deny the overwhelming evidence of climate change, and motivate them toward action.
鈥淪o why aren鈥檛 we taking climate change seriously? The missing piece of the puzzle is communication,鈥� Hayhoe said in a statement. 鈥淏ecause it鈥檚 so scary and so contentious, we don鈥檛 talk about it. And if we don鈥檛 talk about it, why would we care? In this book, I want to give people the tools to have constructive conversations about why these issues are relevant to all of us, and how we can work together for change.鈥�
The Nature Conservancy is an international environmental organization founded in 1951. Hayhoe, a climate scientist who teaches public policy and public law at Texas Tech University, hosts the PBS digital series 鈥淕lobal Weirding鈥� and was named a 鈥淐hampion of the Earth鈥� by the United Nations in 2019.
