I loved this book. Bob McDonald writes with a conversational tone and greatly simplifies the science. I found his discussion of fossil fuels very even-handed, acknowledging both their advantages and disadvantages. It would have been easy for McDonald to lapse into a preachy tone, but he avoided it, making this book a great read. I also liked the use of personal anecdotes and where appropriate, a little humour. I also liked the overall positive tone of the book and am encouraged by learning that we have technology today to help fight climate change, but similarly discouraged that we lack the will to do so. Thank you to Netgalley and Penguin Random House Canada, Viking for the advance reader copy.
