The Parrot and the Igloo: Climate and the Science of Denial by David Lipsky

5.0

Deeply researched and written with a bitterly dry sense of humor. I especially love the author's instinct for metaphor, even as he threatens, constantly, to overdo it. I don't know what else to say about a book that unpacks how we came to be completely fucked. It certainly isn't a hopeful tale. But maybe the story is worth knowing, even so. At least as it all goes up in smoke, we won't wonder whether something could have been done, or if there were people we should have tried, and sentenced with the most brutal punishments our system of justice can conjure. They've got names. And we could've done something.
