This book is dedicated to all the young people of the world who have found themselves to be living on a planet in serious existential trouble. Never before in the history of planet Earth has a single species, in this case homo sapiens, been so dangerously and mindlessly destructive to the point where its selfish actions threaten to trigger a sixth extinction. There is still time to save most of humanity—but only if there is forceful and rapid international action to curb global heating and slowly and eventually reverse the worsening impacts of the changing climate. For Michael, Corry, Sonny, Zaina, Johnny and Aida, growing up in the thick of the worsening climate crisis, their future welfare and well-being is uncertain and fraught with danger. My hope is that this book will make a small contribution to the groundswell of global action as a younger generation of vocal activists force moribund politicians to finally take stronger and more effective measures to bring the climate crisis to an end.
