"If we continue to power our economy with fossil fuels, human civilization will not be able to be sustained long-term or perhaps even through the end of the century."

Millennial climate organizer Daniel Sherrell is here, with a new book in tow. He and Daniel talk climate, his passion for activism, what is really happening to our world, and what the average person can do if they feel so compelled. His book, Warmth: Coming of Age at the End of Our World is described as "a new kind of book about climate change: not what it is or how we solve it, but how it feels to imagine a future–and a family–under its weight.” 

It is a personal book, filled with passion and rage, and in this conversation Daniel articulates how his love for planet earth— the seasons, the coastlines, the people, the biodiversity— drives his ambition to make a difference while he still can.
