challenging dark informative inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

This is a book about climate change obviously which automatically makes it a hard read. Like the subject matter it's dark, scary, hopeless, and guilt inducing. This book is very informative and breaks down everything you would want to know about what the world might look like in the future with climate change. The information was good and I definitely learned things that were interesting and helpful. But the writing seemed very rambly and long winded. I wasn't a fan of the writing style. It also felt dense to me it wasn't a book I flew through it took me forever to get through. You have to go into this book with strong convections of hope and determination to make a difference because if you don't you could easily get overwhelmed and fall into a pit of why even bother. The ending wasn't as hopeful or didn't have as much of a meaning attached as I hoped. Overall this was an good book but only read if you're already interested in climate change. There are probably better books on climate change out there but I'm glad I read it. This is my first step into reading more nonfiction and reading more environmental works.
