Slow Burn
The Hidden Costs of a Warming World
Book • 2024
In 'Slow Burn,' R. Jisung Park focuses on the immediate and ongoing effects of climate change rather than its potential future catastrophes.
Using new data and advanced economic analysis, Park illustrates how climate change affects various aspects of society, including education outcomes, health risks, workplace accidents, and social inequality.
He emphasizes that wealthier households and corporations can adapt more quickly, while less advantaged communities face greater challenges without targeted interventions.
The book argues for aggressive emissions cuts and identifies concrete steps to manage the adverse effects of climate change locally.
