SIPHO KINGS and SARAH WILD have been reporting on different facets of climate change for most of their careers. This book is an easily digestible version of what they have learned and written about. As in any emergency, there are no guarantees, but rather than feeling apathetic and disempowered, it is far better to be informed and prepared.
Sipho Kings was born in eSwatini, grew up in a village in Botswana and went to school in a town in Limpopo. Now he spends his days as the news editor of the Mail & Guardian, trying to treat issues such as climate change with the seriousness that they deserve. Starting as an intern at the Mail & Guardian, Sipho was the paper’s sole environment reporter for several years. Putting climate change on the paper’s front page has won him a dozen awards and seen him do a journalism fellowship at Harvard University.
In a previous life, Sarah Wild studied physics, electronics, and English literature in an effort to make herself unemployable. It didn’t work, so she read for an Master of Science in bioethics and health law. That sort of worked, and she is now a freelance science journalist, writing about particle physics, cosmology and everything in between for local and international publications. Sarah has written books, won awards and run national science desks. She can usually be found in a desert somewhere in the world, looking at telescopes, fossils or strange other-worldly creatures.
