Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid: The Fraught and Fascinating Biology of Climate Change by Thor Hanson

challenging hopeful informative medium-paced

5.0

VERY nice. Realistic attitude towards the current situation (published 2021) without being pessimistic or defeatist. Wide-ranging, honest about our impact on the world, but also full of reminders that life will survive. That doesn’t excuse our current behavior: What’s coming is decades of incredible suffering for humans largely in the Global South and non-human animals. But we can also dial back the fatalism just a smidge.
