A very nice selection of books on climate change, both fiction and non-fiction, by the editors of the Books and Climate desks of the NYT. Grouped into helpful categories like «I’d like a novel that taps into my current, IRL dread», «I only have time for one canonical read», or «I need help arguing with my denialist uncle». I can personally vouch for «The Sixth Extinction»

From Weekly Filet #299, in April 2020.
