Climate Change Book Club

The Green Energy Ohio community regularly selects and reads a book on some aspect of climate change and then gather online for discussion.

Join our Climate Change Book Club Facebook Group! You’ve seen our Climate Change Book Club in the monthly Connections newsletter, now join us on Facebook! We created this group so everyone can become part of the conversation.

  • April Book Club - GEO's latest Climate Change Book Club was April 16th at 7pm, discussing What if We Get it Right? by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson
  • December Book Club: Choked: Life and Breath in the Age of Air Pollution - For our final Book Club of 2024, we are discussing air by reading Beth Gardiner's "Choked: Life and Breath in the Age of Air Pollution." Choked shows us that we hold the power to build a cleaner, healthier future: one in which breathing, life’s most basic function, no longer carries a hidden danger.
  • April Book Club: What happens when the glaciers melt - Continuing the four elements theme derived from James Balog's documentary "The Human Element," we will focus on water through an examination of Greenland's glaciers. The book is "The Ice at the End of the World" by Jon Gertner, and it was recommended to us by Torrey McMillan, one of the founders of the Book Club.
  • February Climate Change Book Club - In February we examined the element of fire through "The Heat Will Kill You First" by Jeff Goodell. You can find numerous book reviews online and read a review by Michael Benson, GEO Board of Directors member and retired Fire Chief, by clicking the linked image.
  • October Climate Change Book Club - The GEO Climate Change Book Club will meet virtually on Thursday, October 5 at 7:00 pm. The Ministry for the Future uses fictional eyewitness accounts to tell the story of how climate change will affect us all. Its setting is not a desolate, postapocalyptic world, but a future that is almost upon us.
