Library EventBook Discussion: The Story of More - How we got to climate change and where do we go from here

Join us for a discussion of Hope Jahren's The Story of More - how we got to Climate change and where do we go from here.

In The Story of More, Hope Jahren illuminates the link between human habits and our imperiled planet. She takes us through the science behind the key inventions—from electric power to large-scale farming to automobiles—that, even as they help us, release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere like never before. She explains the current and projected consequences of global warming—from superstorms to rising sea levels—and the actions that we all can take to fight back.

This discussion will take place on Zoom, and registration is required. A reminder email will be sent out the day before the event with the Zoom connection details.

Copies of The Story of More are available both in print and digitially from the Iowa City Public Library. Unlimited copies of the ebook and eaudio version are now available on Libby and Overdrive for patrons of the Iowa City, Coralville, and North Liberty Libraries.

This event is sponsored by Green Iowa AmeriCorps of Iowa City, Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center, and the Iowa City Public Library.
