Hannah Ritchie’s book, Clearing the Air, is coming out in paperback in September

Hannah, our Deputy Editor and Science Outreach Lead, published her second book, Clearing the Air, last year in hardback.

The paperback version will soon come out in the UK — on 3rd September.

Hannah wrote about the renewed relevance of her book in a recent Substack post:

The recent record-breaking heatwaves in the UK (and other parts of the world) have, at least temporarily, put climate change back on the agenda. But as I’ve said many times before, the debate is no longer about whether climate change is happening, or if we should do something about it.

Most of the concern is about: Who should take action? How much will it cost? Do we have enough land for solar and wind? Won’t we run out of minerals, or create even more of a mining mess? What do we do about cement, or concrete, or aviation?

These are the types of questions — there are 50 of them! — that I cover in this book.

If you’d like to pre-order a copy of Clearing the Air in paperback, it makes a big difference because it convinces bookstores to stock it.
