So I do not know for how long, those who will come after us, will be able to say, with Wendell Berry, \"\u003ci\u003eI rest in the grace of the world\u003c\/i\u003e.\"\u003cbr\u003eClimate change is the key to understanding why so many (\u003ci\u003eonly apparently \"natural\"\u003c\/i\u003e) disasters are occurring. Indeed, climate change is happening because of our reckless behavior.\u003cbr\u003eThe remarkable change in climatic conditions in the last decades is a phenomenon that varies, in space and time, in the different regions of the globe, so not all of us experience the same changes. This is the main reason why there are people who, either consciously or unconsciously, deny that such variations are real. But it's now impossible to turn a blind eye to the climate emergency: the rise in temperature, the growing vulnerability of wildlife and biodiversity, changes in the sea level and the multiplication of natural disasters with increasingly disastrous consequences, are there for all to see.\u003cbr\u003eIn this diverse collection of poems, we gaze pensively ahead two, possibly three generations, wondering aloud how much of what our grandparents took for granted will still surround or enrich human society.\u003cbr\u003eUltimately, the question, \"\u003ci\u003eWhich planet for our grandchildren?\u003c\/i\u003e\", is addressed to all of us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45571054960791,"sku":"9798535358512","price":1019.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798535358512.webp?v=1767938770","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/what-planet-for-our-grandchildren-poetry-climate-emergency-9798535358512","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
