The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming by David Wallace-Wells

4.0

informative sad slow-paced

---

I was hoping this book would have more vivid descriptions about what the world would look like with each degree of warming. It was heavily filled with numbers which got repetitive after a while and killed the momentum this book started out with. Each chapter would cover a specific topic and then you'd get a series of lists, "At 1 degree of warming, X will happen. At 2 degrees of warming, Y will happen. At 3 degrees, Z will happen." It was informative and interesting, but I think there are more entertaining books out there about climate change. I know this author wrote a rather lengthy article which the books expands upon. Unless you are super into statistics, I think the article would be a better bet.
