Review of Sarah Marie Wiebe's <i>Hot Mess: Mothering Through a Code Red Climate Emergency</i>

In Hot Mess: Mothering Through a Code Red Climate Emergency, Sarah Marie Wiebe delves into the important but often overlooked intersection of motherhood and the ongoing climate emergency. The book offers a thoughtful exploration of how new mothers experience the climate crisis and emphasizes the necessity of centring care in the discourse on environmental justice. Wiebe's main argument revolves around the need for pushing past individualism to truly centre care and community at the heart of climate crisis mitigation efforts. She draws from her own experiences as a new mother, as well as the experiences of other communities in Hawaii and rural settings across Canada, to illustrate the tangible impacts of climate change on maternal health and community well-being.
