Absolutely amazing collection of essays and speeches, very well worded, supported by facts and imagery.

Easily digestible collection of essays about noticing the climate crisis, talking about the climate crisis and solving the climate crisis. I knew most of the factual information and ideas already, but learned some new things nonetheless
A really short, easily digestible look into climate change, ecology and what we can actively be doing and campaigning for to enable structural change. At parts it feels disheartening but George Monbiot ends with a clear path to change with a string of hope on the way.

In this collection of short essays and speeches spanning just over two years, Monbiot explores the many different ways people are able to turn a blind eye to the inevitable capitalist climate distaster we are facing, whether through dissonance and ignorance. Drawing on his own experiences from Extinction Rebellion to scientific observations - each essay is succinct, factual and evokes a visceral emotional reaction from the reader. There is a clear message of anger and urgency throughout each essay - but this anger is clearly utilised into passionate action rather than outright aggression. Now, there is no ground-breaking research or revelations in these pages, but it is an excellent peice of literature for anybody who wants to start learning or just reflect on the environmental and societal issues we are all facing.
