cristina_isabel 's review for:
The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming
by David Wallace-Wells
2.5 stars
I think this novel is more than needed: Way too many people try to cast the problem of climate change out of their lives, something, that will never work out. So I do think that this book would be a fantastic wake-up call for everyone.
Nonetheless, I didn't like certain aspects of it:
I found that many of the examples used in this book were extremely specific to America, which I thought unnecessary.
Apart from that, it is full, and I mean full, of data (numbers and statistics) from start too finish. Most of the chapters were difficult to get through because of that. I felt quite overwhelmed by it. The author didn't really explain the how or why climate change is furthered/produced, which I would have found really interesting.
It would also have been nice to get to know some solutions, as to how I, as a regular citizen, could help to turn this crisis around.
