An epic bicycle journey across the American hinterland that explores the challenges of climate change alongside a diverse array of American voices.After a distinguished career in climate science as the Director of the UN Global Climate Observing System in Geneva, David Goodrich returned home to the United States to find a nation and a people in denial. Concerned that the American people are willfully deluded by the misinformation about climate that dominates media and politics, David thought a little straight talk could set things right. As they say in Animal House, he decided that "this calls for a stupid and futile gesture on someone's part, and I'm just the guy to do it." Starting on the beach in Delaware, David rode his bike 4,200 miles to Oregon, talking with the people he met on the ultimate road trip. Along the way he learned a great deal about why climate is a complicated issue for many Americans and even more about the country we all share. Climate change is the central environmental issue of our time. But A Hole in the Wind is also about the people Dave met and the experiences he had along the way, like the toddler's beauty pageant in Delaware, the tornado in Missouri, rust-belt towns and their relationship with fracking, and the mined-out uranium ghost town in Wyoming. As he rides, David will discuss the climate with audiences varying from laboratories to diners to elementary schools. Beautifully simple, direct, and honest, A Hole in the Wind is a fresh, refreshing ride through a difficult and controversial topic, and a rich read that makes you glad to be alive.

A fabulous book! Written in spare and elegant prose, this thoughtful story brings the reader along on the journey of a lifetime as the author (a retired climate scientist) pedals his way from sea-to-shining-sea, starting at Maryland’s Eastern Shore and riding all the way to the Pacific coast of Oregon.On the face of it, the ride is about observing our changing world in an era when rising temperatures are transforming the face of the land and the sea, and challenging our every notion of what the future holds for our communities and our planet. Beneath, however, is the tale of a humble man who through endless tenacity and a well of patience struggles through rain and cold and heat and fierce winds, minutely observing all that he sees to bring us an up close and personal view of the state of our world. Along the way, he gathers what he calls “land stories”—some poignant, some uplifting, some deeply worrying—but all remarkable for what they teach us about our fellow citizens, our shared history, and this global ecosystem which must be protected if it is to sustain generations yet to come.The book is full of meticulously researched scientific information, wry observations, witty insights, and just enough daring-do to keep a reader turning the page. I felt like I was along for the ride, soaking up from the comfort of my armchair the feel of the Chesapeake Bay in winter, the thigh-burning inclines of the Alleghenies, heart-pumping encounters with unpredictable canines, and glorious views of hills and plains and barrier islands.This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to get past the rhetoric of the global climate change “debate” to understand at the county, community, or even individual level what global warming means for health and livelihoods and environmental preservation.
