Nathaniel Rich's account of how the course of climate change could have been halted in the 1980s and why it wasn't. Read by Kyle Soller.

Nathaniel Rich tells the story of how climate change could have been stopped in the 1980s and why it wasn't.

In 1979, the science of climate change was known – what was happening, why it was happening, and how to stop it.  In the US, over the next decade a variety  of activists, scientists and politicians worked tirelessly to safeguard the environment but despite their efforts they couldn't.  

Losing Earth is American novelist Nathaniel Rich’s account of the decade when the world came tantalizingly close to signing a binding treaty that could have made a difference.
