Eaarth is a book by Bill McKibben about climate change. The title refers to the Earth, which McKibben claims has been so substantially changed by human influence that a new name is in order: “let it be Eaarth.”
As the title suggests, the author does not discuss if climate change is happening, he takes this for granted (see POV?).
The first chapter is devoted to list a lot of anectdotal evidence? that temperatures have risen on earth, and that this already had a lot of impact.
Bill McKibben describes the kind of civilization that could be able to survive climate change:
It’s a civilization with much less mobility, more localized and concentrated on getting all necessary goods from the neighborhood.
The internet, on the other hand, will help as a substitute to the kind of mobility and diversity that people grew accustomed to during the end of the 20th century.
