misspalah's review against another edition

I read some reviews before I read this book. Truth be told, not many people like him or his book. I am Not sure whether they are part of global warming deniers or workers of exxon Mobil or both actually. I just can't fathom it but I'm going to ignore them and go on with my review. I watched "the inconvenient truth" documentary back then in 2011. I was pretty much late. The documentary is part of my class activity for environmental management course back then in my university. After that, I have followed every little thing that related to the environmental management. While some might get skeptical with Al Gore and doubt his intention, I dare say that there are younger people out there who are watcing the film and suddenly feeling interested in doing something to save the earth. That's my post effect after watching that film and I'm sure I'm not the only one. This book spoke the truth, exposed the lies, explained the misconception and defeated the skepticism that has been long existed in people's mind. Global warming is a threat to humanity as much as terrorism and war but why aren't we doing something to prevent it? Why are we still sitting and pondering that whether it's true or not? How many proofs do we need until one day, it's too late and regret is the only thing left? We should noticed it by now how every year, the temperature is rising and it's getting hotter each year. Well, what should we do about that?

Depressing reading a book about climate change that was written so long ago and for things to not really have changed much since then. All things we’re still working on and they’ve gotten worse.

Definitely presents a privileged, white American male take on climate change but the information is accessible. It was really interesting to see the 2005-snapshot of our climate data and predictions in light of all the additional research we have collected and insight we have gained in the years since.

He discusses why climate change should be a nonpartisan, moral issue rather than a politicized issue. He compares the tobacco disinformation campaign of previous decades to the global warming disinformation campaign. He also provides practical changes that every person can make to decrease their individual energy use and carbon footprint.

As a child being taught the horrible thing that is climate change and global warming, I understood that I should recycle and that I should turn off the tap when brushing.
This book is the true definition of what our planet is and what it will become. This should be taught to the younger generations.
Every living person should come to understand the current situation of our planet. This book is the beginning.
