This book had so much information and the author writes in such a descriptive way that you felt like you were there with him for those experiences. It really gives you a lot to think about as far as global warming and what's happening to our earth.

Well written and informative. Terrifying. This account of the climate crisis brings a more concrete perspective than the "someday things might be warmer" vagueness that gentle terms like "climate change" evoke. It was hard to tell how much of this was really new or groundbreaking information, but it at least serves as a good introduction/summary of what's coming and, in a lot of ways, what's already here.

I say sad because of the last chapter. The author talks about polar bears, and how they're dying because their land is being destroyed. More like melting away.

Very informative. Very sad. Great story and the first time I've done much of a dive into literature featuring climate change. It managed to break down the concepts and consequences in an easy to understand way.
