The Crucial Years
Bill McKibben
The Crucial Years is written by Bill McKibben, who wrote the first mainstream climate book in 1989, co-founded 350.org, and more recently organized Third Act to mobilize older Americans. The title names his thesis: this decade decides how hot the planet gets, so these are the years to act like it. Dispatches mix movement strategy, clean-energy optimism, and half a century of institutional memory from someone who has been in every major climate fight. It is the movement-elder perspective in our stack, equal parts history lesson and marching orders.
