Bill Weir, CNN’s Chief Climate Correspondent, has a new book, “Life As We Know It (Can Be),” written as a letter to his children, about growing up and thriving in an age of climate fear and hope.

Record-breaking heat, rising sea levels, increasingly extreme weather and more are fueled by the human-made climate crisis.

It doesn’t feel like a great time to be raising children, or having them in the first place. But maybe it still is, if we can counter fear with knowledge and hope.

I chatted with Bill Weir, CNN’s Chief Climate Correspondent and host of the CNN Original Series “The Wonder List with Bill Weir,” about these topics, and about his new book, “Life As We Know It (Can Be): Stories of People, Climate, and Hope in a Changing World,” written as an open letter to his own kids.
