Die heute schon spürbaren und die schlimmstmöglichen Folgen der Klimaerwärmung sind das Thema des Journalisten David Wallace-Wells in diesem spektakulären Report. Wie kann und wird das Leben auf der Erde in nur 40, 50, 60 Jahren aussehen? Sicher ist: Heutige Teenager und Kinder werden noch erleben, wie sich die Bedingungen für die Menschheit auf der Erde dramatisch verschlechtern, sie werden erleben, wie sie in Teilen unbewohnbar wird. Wallace-Wells macht die vielen wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse, die die Mehrheit der Menschen oft gar nicht erreichen, begreifbar, ja fühlbar.

Seventy-five years ago, the dragons fell from the sky. We thought they were just meteorites—six terrifying explosions rang the world like a bell. When the dust settled, we went on with our lives as though nothing had happened. More than a decade later, five of the eggs hatched. The dragons that emerged were small and weak. They kept to the shadows, working in secret to persuade people to do their bidding, offering magic as payment and reward. Years passed...and still we didn't notice the evil growing in our midst.

Has something indeed happened to evangelical theology and to evangelical churches? According to David Wells, the evidence indicates that evangelical pastors have abandoned their traditional role as ministers of the Word to become therapists and "managers of the small enterprises we call churches". Along with their parishioners, they have abandoned genuine Christianity and biblical truth in favor of the sort of inner-directed experiential religion that now pervades Western society.
