"This groundbreaking book uncovers the numerous ways climate chaos is killing people, places, and the planet. It makes a powerful contribution by offering a hopeful, practical perspective to reversing destructive climate chaos and reducing greenhouse gases by 80% through implementing practical policies that will create a more sustainable, prosperous, and livable Earth.”

“John Hans Gilderbloom, a renowned authority in the climate and environmental research field, has crafted a seminal work that revolutionizes our understanding of the critical issues in environmental science and politics. With 29 authors and a message from Pope Francis and Nobel Prize Winner Albert Gore, John Hans Gilderbloom has placed us on a trajectory to reassess what it means to say we are in a crisis not so much of the environment but of human existence. The book’s title, Climate Chaos: Killing People, Places, and the Planet, says it all. We as citizens must understand that in this monumental work, these scientists are attempting to tell us that we must envision a paradigm shift, a new worldview.”

“John Gilderbloom’s message couldn’t be more timely or important – not only that climate change is the existential challenge of our time, but that there is indeed a hopeful path forward. Effective action on climate change cannot help but address and improve our other related challenges, including unequal impacts on health, threats to equitable human development, and declining urban quality of life for too many. In that sense, the growing awareness of climate threats may help to mobilize needed action on these other long-neglected issues.”
