Data scientist Hannah Ritchie's new book about climate change and the future of the planet is sparking debate.
In "Not the End of the World: How We Can Be the First Generation to Build a Sustainable Planet," Ritchie argues that some of the prognosticating is too gloom-and-doom, and that we can, in fact, be the first generation to ensure a sustainable future. She uses data to offer ideas on how to deal with climate change, food supplies, and more.
