In "Saving Us," Katharine Hayhoe, a United Nations Champion of the Earth, merges her profound expertise in climate science with her evangelical Christian faith to present a transformative conversation on climate action. Unlike the traditional narrative of climate change fraught with doom and gloom, Hayhoe offers an inspiring and pragmatic approach that underscores the power of dialogue in bridging divides and fostering collective action. With her unique position as a respected Canadian climate scientist residing in Texas, she navigates the complex landscape of skepticism, apathy, and resistance with remarkable ease, leveraging her experiences to demonstrate how effective communication can truly make a difference. This book is not merely a call to action; it is a masterclass in understanding the nuanced interplay between science, faith, and psychology in the context of one of the most pressing issues of our time. Hayhoe's "Saving Us" is a compelling invitation to explore the critical role of conversation in combating climate change. Through a blend of rigorous research and captivating personal anecdotes, she illustrates that changing hearts and minds extends beyond mere facts to finding common ground in shared values and identities. This insightful work challenges readers to reevaluate their approach to climate discourse, emphasizing that the path to sustainable change is paved with small, yet impactful, discussions. By providing readers with the tools to engage in meaningful dialogue, Hayhoe not only envisions a brighter future but empowers each of us to be an integral part of creating it. "Saving Us" is not just a book about climate change; it's a beacon of hope for a united global community striving for a healthier planet.

A must-read if we’re serious about enacting positive change from the ground up, in communities, and through human connections & human emotions. - Margaret Atwood
On climate change and other issues with moral implications, we tend to believe that everyone should care for the same self-evident reasons we do. If they don’t, we all too often assume they lack morals. But most people do have morals and are acting according to them; they’re just different from ours. And if we are aware of these differences, we can speak to them.
— Katharine Hayhoe, Saving Us
