Summary:

For over 30 years, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has assessed the
state of climate change, its causes and impacts. The main mission of these scientists is to share and synthesize climate studies in reports made accessible to policy makers and the public. However most people are not aware of these reports or find them too complex. Xavier Henrion felt the same way until he met Iris, a young climate scientist. She will introduce him to nine of the hundreds of experts who contribute to these reports. During these encounters Xavier will gradually become fully aware of seriousness of the climate crisis. He will go through the stages of shock, denial, anger, negotiation, depression, acceptance, experimentation, decisiveness and integration.
Through the words of nine scientists, this non-fiction graphic novel clearly summarizes the
latest IPCC reports. Readers will discover current knowledge on climate change, the associated
risks and social inequalities, as well as possible solutions, all while exploring the legitimacy of
the science and the role of researchers. Iris-Amata Dion and Xavier Henrion
have created an accessible and necessary work which will help us all better understand how serious the situation is and the actions we can take.
