About time and water. By Andri Snæ Magnason.
In the next hundred years, the nature of water on Earth will undergo fundamental changes. Glaciers will melt, sea levels will rise, and the acidity of the oceans will change more than has been seen in 50 million years. The changes will affect all life on Earth, everyone we know and everyone we love. They are more complex than most things the mind is used to dealing with, bigger than all our previous experiences, bigger than language. What words can capture issues of that magnitude?
In his attempt to capture this vast issue, Andri Snær Magnason allows himself to be both personal and scientific – weaving his way into climate science with age-old myths about sacred cows, stories of ancestors and relatives, and interviews with the Dalai Lama. The result is a narrative that is a travelogue, a world story, and a reminder to live in harmony with future generations.
Andri Snær broke new ground in the debate about Icelandic nature with his book Dreamland. Here he takes on climate change, the biggest challenge the world has ever faced together.
