The Story of More: How We Got to Climate Change and Where to Go From Here

Show Guest: Hope Jahren, Ph.D.

Dr. Hope Jahren is an award-winning geobiologist, a brilliant writer, and one of the seven billion people with whom we share this earth. The Story of More is her impassioned open letter to humanity as we stand at the crossroads of survival and extinction.

Jahren celebrates the long history of our enterprising spirit—which has tamed wild crops, cured diseases, and sent us to the moon—but also shows how that spirit has created excesses that are quickly warming our planet to dangerous levels.

She explains the current and projected consequences of greenhouse gases—from superstorms to rising sea levels—and the science-based tools that could help us fight back. The Story of More illuminates the link between our consumption habits and our endangered earth, showing us how we can use less and share more.
