This book is filled with accessible prose & technical science and woven together by storytelling that gives human context to its central question: “What if climate change is worse than we think?” As someone who consumes climate information in bite-sized pieces, it was helpful to get a current and comprehensive clear-eyed view into climate change and an increasingly likely future.
