 Yet as we consume ever more in a frantic bid for happiness, global warming 
 worsens. Alarmed by drastic changes now occurring in the Earth's climate 
 systems, Peter Kalmus, a climate scientist and suburban father of two, 
 embarked on a journey to change his life and the world. He began by 
 bicycling, growing food, meditating, and making other simple, fulfilling 
 changes. Ultimately, he slashed his climate impact to under a tenth of the 
 US average and became happier in the process.\n\n"Being the Change" 
 explores the connections between our individual daily actions and our 
 collective predicament. It merges science, spirituality, and practical 
 action to develop a satisfying and appropriate response to global 
 warming.\n\nPart one exposes our interconnected predicament: 
 overpopulation, global warming, industrial agriculture, growth-addicted 
 economics, a sold-out political system, and a mindset of separation from 
 nature. It also includes a readable but authoritative overview of climate 
 science. Part two offers a response at once obvious and unprecedented: 
 mindfully opting out of this broken system and aligning our daily lives 
 with the biosphere.\n\nThe core message is deeply optimistic: living 
 without fossil fuels is not only possible, it can be better.\n\nABOUT the 
 AUTHOR\n\nPeter Kalmus is a climate scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion 
 Laboratory with a Ph.D. in physics from Columbia University. At work he 
 studies the physics of clouds in a changing climate, and at home he 
 explores how we can address climate change while living happier, more 
 connected lives. He lives in Altadena, California, a suburb of Los Angeles, 
 with his wife and two children on 1/10th the fossil fuels of the American 
 average. He enjoys orcharding, beekeeping, and backpacking. Peter speaks 
 purely on his own behalf, not on behalf of NASA or Jet Propulsion 
 Laboratory.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2019/12/11/18828816.php
