From the "scientist finding climate change's smoking gun" (WIRED) and a Times 100 Most Influential Person comes a bracing investigation into extreme weather's impact on the world's most vulnerable. For fans of Naomi Klein and Greta Thunberg. Climate change does not affect everyone equally. While many scientists focus on studying climate change as a physics problem, Friederike Otto, one of the world's most renowned climate scientists, sees it as a symptom of the global crisis of inequality, not its cause. In this ambitious, fast-paced book, she offers concrete examples of how extreme weather events caused by climate change reveal uncomfortable truths about the failures of political and social infrastructures around the world. Comparing eight extreme weather events--including heat waves in North America, floods in Pakistan, droughts in Madagascar, and wildfires in Australia--Otto reveals how climate change is affecting the world's most vulnerable, whether they are women working on farms
