HOW TO PREPARE FOR CLIMATE CHANGE

A practical and comprehensive guide to surviving the greatest disaster of our time, written by New York Times bestselling self-help author and CBS Sunday Morning science and technology correspondent David Pogue.

How to Prepare for Climate Change offers a comprehensive guide to surviving climate change. Pogue starts with a quick crash course on what we can expect from climate change, much of which we already know: unbearable heat, droughts, hurricanes, massive rains, raging fire. But did you know that we can also expect a higher homicide rate, more car accidents, more kidney stones, worse allergies, and a higher divorce rate? Not that all things will be bad: there will also be more home runs, fewer ants, taller mountains, and more melodic birdsong. But let's get back to survival...

The bulk of the book is devoted to walking you through every practical decision you'll have to make: where to, how to climate proof your home, what to grow in your garden, how to invest, how to manage your anxiety, and for every catastrophe - from superstorms to wildfires - how to make it out in one piece. The book moves from the micro to the macro: from how to prepare your family to how to prepare your business and your town. And it addresses the fact that the effects of climate change won't just be physical; it will also bring about massive social upheaval.
