“Focused on the climate crisis in all its forms, The Carbon Almanac is wonderfully thorough, democratic in intent and language, and should draw as many readers as the Whole Earth Catalog did for an earlier generation.”
—Vincent Stanley, Director of Philosophy, Patagonia
Join us for an exciting live event AND attempt at breaking the world record for the most authors to sign a book in person in one day! Lars Landberg, Danish contributor to The Carbon Almanac will be joining his fellow authors virtually from around the world to sign copies of this all important book for our times.
The Carbon Almanac is a breakthrough, collaborative work that offers climate science facts – without the noise, confusion, or agendas – to help each of us become well-informed about climate change.
The Carbon Almanac draws on more than 1,000 data points, using cartoons, quotes, illustrations, tables, stories, and articles to map carbon’s impact on agriculture, economy, and health. It breaks down what climate change is, the relationship between population and emissions, solutions for restoring our planet, and much more.
