Essay Topics

1.

More than 100 people contributed to The Climate Book. Why did Thunberg choose to use people from a variety of backgrounds rather than including only scientific or activist voices? How does the large number of contributing authors influence the credibility and the persuasiveness of the text?

2.

Analyze the role of capitalism in climate change. When did capitalism emerge? How does capitalism influence social values and priorities? Are capitalism and sustainability mutually exclusive? Why or why not?

Multiple contributors note that the implications of climate change are uncertain. How does this lack of certainty impact The Climate Book? Does it influence the tone? How does it impact the text’s credibility? How does it affect the book’s persuasiveness?
