Our species could survive for billions of years - enough time to end disease, poverty, and injustice, and to flourish in ways unimaginable today. But this vast future is at risk. With the advent of nuclear weapons, humanity entered a new age, where we face existential catastrophes - those from which we could never come back.

The last ice age didn’t disappear. It only slept. And now, it’s waking up. When an early October snowstorm blankets northern Wisconsin, most residents shrug it off as a seasonal anomaly. But former Army paratrooper Daniel Reicher senses something far more dangerous brewing beneath the cold. Temperatures freefall, lakes freeze overnight, and the snow—unnervingly—never melts. Then a suppressed NOAA report leaks: the Gulf Stream is slowing. The same oceanic collapse that triggered ancient Ice Age catastrophes is happening again—only this time, millions are in the path. As the Midwest...

An energizing case for hope about the climate comes from Rebecca Solnit, called “the voice of the resistance” by the New York Times, and climate activist Thelma Young Lutunatabua, along with a chorus of voices calling on us to rise to the moment. Not Too Late is the book for anyone who is despondent, defeatist, or unsure about climate change and seeking answers.

An astonishing transformation over the last 20,000 years has seen our planet changed from a frigid wasteland into the temperate world within which our civilization has grown and thrived. This dynamic episode in our planet's history, right at the close of the Ice Age, saw not only a huge temperature hike but also the Earth's crust bouncing and bending in response to the melting of the great ice sheets and the filling of the ocean basins - dramatic geophysical events that triggered earthquakes, spawned tsunamis, and provoked a series of eruptions from the world's volcanoes.

But as the eyewall passes, Mac discovers something the storm was meant to hide: a floatplane corridor freshly cut into the sawgrass. In the eerie stillness of the eye, five men in tactical gear emerge from the ...
