What if we just save the world?

Frank Schätzing on climate change – as thrilling as a thriller. We are in a thriller. You and I. Not as listeners and authors, but as actors. This thriller has been unfolding since time immemorial and keeps changing its title. Currently, it is called climate crisis, pandemic, digitalization, terrorism. In the past, it was known as the Cold War, arms race, and before that, World War II, World War I. Yet, we have never been exposed to so many potential horrors at once as we are today. So, if you have temporarily diverted your attention from climate protection to cope with a pandemic, that is simply human. However, this does not change the fact that climate change represents perhaps the greatest existential threat in our history, and like a virus, it does not negotiate. It is time to return to action. The good news is: We can master the challenge. With knowledge, willpower, positive thinking, creativity, love for life on our planet, and a bit of personal heroism, just like in a thriller. From now on, we all play a leading role – each of us, including you! Scientifically grounded, exciting, and never without humor, Frank Schätzing outlines various scenarios of our future, where we sometimes fail and sometimes succeed. We meet the protagonists and antagonists, responsible figures from politics, business, and society, encounter activists, deniers, and conspiracy theorists, before the view opens up to the overwhelming panorama of what is possible, and the author shows ways to escape the climate trap and how everything can still turn out well, no, better. Saving the world is possible – if we only want to. Unabridged reading with Annette Frier, Frank Schätzing, 1 MP3-CD, 9h 3min.
