The science of climate change was clear more than 40 years ago. Between 1979 and 1989, the world had a chance to act decisively — but political will collapsed. Losing Earth tells the story of that “lost decade,” showing how delay, not ignorance, set us back.
This book reads like history and a thriller, reminding us that the climate crisis isn’t new — it’s about choices we failed to make.

✨ The climate crisis is not new. The question is: will we learn from the chances we’ve already lost?
