Managing The Climate Crisis: Designing and Building for Floods, Heat, Drought, and Wildfire by Jonathan Barnett & Matthijs Bouw  Published by Island Press in 2022

It's getting hot on planet Earth. There are forces in motion that can be reversed but we will have to deal with the effects of floods, heat, drought, and wildfire for the foreseeable future. How can our communities adapt today so that we can live a full life and reverse the effects for the next generation?

There are steps we can take today because pennies do add up.

Join me in this conversation with Jonathan and Matthijs about how to protect our communities and our families with small but powerful changes in our daily lives. Climate change is already here. The question is what are we going to do  today that will make our children and grandchildren proud of us?

"Failure is not an option" - movie Apollo 13.

If there was ever a time or a "how to" book, this is yet. This book takes a complicated science problem and breaks it down into easy to read steps. It's not too late but the time is now. Take this book to your local community leaders to share. The clock is ticking.
