I think I need to take a break from reading climatology books for awhile. They just make me sad, angry and depressed. There are simple changes to help excessive CO2 like changing what you eat, but food and what people eat is a heavy topic; everyone has an opinion. The grains being used to fatten up animals used in animal agriculture can be used to feed to feed the global population. That is just for starters....

There are just too many people globally using non-rewable resources like water. Do not even get me started about the destruction/pollution of the oceans.

Cutting down trees for other human needs when trees naturally absorb/protect us from CO2..

People globally do not want to admit that were also entering the era of the 6th extinction. General population does not realize if bees go extinct, that is the end of fruits, veggies, and most products used on a daily basis. Bees need protection.

This book tackles all these topics and more. It is just so sickening and depressing to think the planet is screwed.

Recommended.

This book argues that the path to end climate change is through political activism. To me, that just seems woefully naive. Certainly, activism can be part of the solution. This book gives an overview of how to do that, although it’s largely theoretical. Still, the book is well-written and authoritative, and worth a read for anyone interested in the subject.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC.
