Gertner spent years traveling to Greenland with scientists studying the ice sheet — the most important single climate indicator on earth. This is not a polemic. It's a dispatch from inside the scientific effort to understand what's happening and what it means for every coastline on earth. The researchers, the instruments, the ice cores going back 800,000 years, the measurements that keep coming in worse than the models predicted. The most important climate book on this shelf precisely because it stays with the evidence and the people gathering it.
