Informative read, I only have issue with the way many informations and terms were piled on a little bit haphazardly, a little all over the place. Nonetheless an important book to read on the nature of climate issues of our times

Reading this was like running down a burning hallway while being pelted with bricks and also tripped every two feet
pcaseley's review against another edition
Sorry but it reads like a fear mongering news column. The writing felt cyclical: some info, “we’re doomed”, rinse, repeat. Look. I get that climate change is dark and hopeless, but it’s not helpful to hear “bro we’re screwed” a million times. Might give it another try later but it’s just been collecting dust (and cat hair) on my coffee table for 2 months.

The first section of this book is a giant compilation of climate studies. It is very difficult to take the various climate models and describe all of their possibilities in a narrative. The result in this case is so many run-on sentences and switching back and forth that the rhythm was awkward. It could have been improved with fewer words and more charts and pictographs or at the very least a section with summaries of each model. I absolutely think this info is real and important. The book is just a gobbledygook mishmash of flowery and scientific writing.

I listened to the audiobook of this and while it's a great introduction to how the climate crisis might unfold, giving you hard truths while discouraging climate nihilism, I did find it a little overwhelming at points with statistics. If I reread I will give a fuller review as I didn't read this recently.

Yikes. A book about temperature spikes. A story hardly as fun as this little rhyme. But an important one to have read. It offers a clear, to-the-point, overview of climate change research, effects, and future scenarios.

Honestly just found it pretty annoying to say that because women and POC have only recently gotten basic human rights that it is offensive to try to fight for rights for animals. As a vegan woman, I’m fine with further progress and do not require it to be slowed down just because things have been slow to progress historically.

Interesting and important but extremely depressing read.
