I've been enjoying climate books recently. I've just finished How to be a Climate Optimist by Chris Turner, and before that The Ecology of Commerce by Paul Hawken.

Are there any books that you consider foundational/required reading for climate issues?

Some users from c/degrowth recommended The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber & David Wengrow and Survival of the Friendliest by Brian Hare & Vanessa Woods which I'm looking forward to checking out.

I recently listened to the solutions are already here by Peter Gelderlos, which I found quite enjoyable. Once folks like Bill Gates recommend a book on clima e I kinda lose interest. This one he probably won't recommend. ;)

It's also available as an audiobook on the audible anarchist podcast.

The dawn of everything isn't strictly about climate, but still quite good.

Thank you! If it's climate adjacent I'll check it out :)
