Katharine Hayhoe

is a chief scientist at the Nature Conservancy, a global environmental organisation, headquartered in the USA. When she isn’t conducting her own climate research, her goal is to persuade others to engage with the issue – her TED talk on this very topic has close to four million views and her new book peruses the same goal. On page 72 she shares the reasons she still feels optimism even in the face of dire statistics.
