That’s the jumping off point for Kale Williams’ excellent new book, which begins with a cuddly cub named Nora. The chapters starring Nora are the most engaging, but Williams works in lots of other stories and history to educate readers about the impact of climate change. And we’re treated to a depressing primer on how the global energy industry mobilized to create the arguments that climate change deniers still use to this day. “As an ambassador, the polar bear is imperfect,” writes Williams. Williams is a science and environment reporter at The Oregonian and knows that climate change is the most monumental task ever faced by humanity.
