This books can be considered a good wake-up call for the utter denial of climate change. It showcases some great arguments for immediate action (which are highly relevant for the time being), nevertheless, the book is referring to the issue on quite a surface level still. I would love to see more of the author’s viewpoint on tackling climate calamities through power struggles, social inequalities, and so on.

Overall, a concise and nice read to kick off 2022 :’)

3.4/5 stars for this one.

Apresenta o ponto de vista de que a batalha para evitar a crise climática já está perdida. E que os nossos esforços agora deviam ser dirigidos a preparar um mundo socialmente justo e estável para a crise que se avizinha.

Interesting perspective. One argument that stood out for me was the idea of accepting the reality and inevitability of climate disaster may lead to us working on problems that will only get bigger/lead to further disaster when that does happen. Different from the argument that those other issues don’t matter on “a dead planet.” Skeptical of the possibility of such a level of acceptance.
