description: Some people reject the fact overwhelmingly supported by scientists that our planet is warming because of human activity. But do those of us who accept the reality of human-caused climate change truly believe it? If we did surely we would be roused to act on what we know. Will future generations distinguish between those who didnt believe in the science of global warming and those who said they accepted the science but failed to change their lives in response?In We Are the Weather Jonathan Safran Foer explores the central global dilemma of our time in a surprising deeply personal and urgent new way. The task of saving the planet will involve a great reckoning with ourselveswith our all-too-human reluctance to sacrifice immediate comfort for the sake of the future. We have he reveals turned our planet into a farm for growing animal products and the consequences are catastrophic. Only collective action will save our home and way of life. And it all starts with what we eatand dont eatfor breakfast.
