Based on the analysis of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), b
ut seen through the perspective of everyman journalist Philippe Squarzoni, this
graphic novel explains how our environment functions; outlines the consequences
of climate change and asks: is our society able to pursue a proactive policy in
regard to ecological issues? In a tour de force of both artistic and information
al presentation, with the impact of climate change on the US central to the narr
ative, Philippe Squarzoni weaves together scientific research, interviews with l
eading experts, personal reflections and a call for action starting at a grassro
ots level. One of the featured experts is Jean Jouzel, member of the IPCC (recip
ient with Al Gore of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize), who praised the final book on
its thorough research and understanding of the facts.
