The Best of Times, The Worst of Times: Futures from the Frontiers of Climate Science by Paul Behrens
5.0
Beautifully written and deeply researched, this book should be on the desks and shelves of those interested in acquiring a deeper understanding of the broad web of challenges defining the environmental catastrophe humanity is currently facing. Behrens takes you down two paths that experts and society are anxiously walking. Why to despair and why we should hope. Showing how the complex network of social, technical, economic and political aspects, is embedded in this crisis.
The book doesn't merely present us with the opposite stances, rather, it engages you in reevaluating the biases you may have. However, always allowing the reader to weigh the new information against the previous and upcoming one. Most importantly, making the two narratives come into a unified tale of two directions humanity may follow.
