X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>When climate scientist Jo&euml\;lle Gergis
  set to work on the United Nations&rsquo\; Intergovernmental Panel on Clim
 ate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report\, the research she encountered k
 ept her up at night. Through countless hours spent with the world&rsquo\;s
  top scientists to piece together the latest global assessment of climate 
 change\, she realised that the impacts were occurring faster than anyone h
 ad predicted.<br />&nbsp\;<br />In&nbsp\;<em>Humanity&rsquo\;s Moment</em>
 \, Jo&euml\;lle takes us through the science in the IPCC report with clear
 -eyed honesty\, explaining what it means for our future\, while sharing he
 r personal reflections on bearing witness to the heartbreak of the climate
  emergency unfolding in real time. But this is not a lament for a lost wor
 ld. It is an inspiring reminder that human history is an endless tug-of-wa
 r for social justice. We are each a part of an eternal evolutionary force 
 that can transform our world.</p>\n<p>This book is a climate scientist&rsq
 uo\;s guide to rekindling hope\, and a call to action to restore our relat
 ionship with ourselves\, each other and our planet.</p>\n<p>Dr Jo&euml\;ll
 e Gergis is an award-winning climate scientist and writer at the Australia
 n National University. She is an internationally recognised expert in Aust
 ralian and Southern Hemisphere climate variability and change who served a
 s a lead author for the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report &ndash\; a global\, s
 tate-of-the art review of climate change science.</p>\n<p>Jo&euml\;lle wil

 ster\, musician and teacher. She has presented programs on ABC Melbourne\,
