About J. T. Hartley

J. T. Hartley is a science communicator who writes about deep time with the urgency of someone who knows the audience needs to understand it fast. Living with a Moving Planet draws on paleoclimatology, archaeology, and resilience theory to demonstrate that climate change is not a new problem — it is the human condition — and that our species has survived dramatic biosphere shifts through exactly the kind of adaptive intelligence the book aims to cultivate. Hartley has a gift for making long-chain scientific reasoning feel accessible without dumbing it down: the book moves from ice core data to personal resilience strategy without losing the thread. The tone is measured, evidence-first, and ultimately hopeful without being naïve. For readers who want to understand what climate adaptation actually means beyond the headlines, this is one of the most coherent introductions available.
