While I appreciated and agreed with the overall message of the book and what he was trying to inspire in the reader, there were several times where he made some scientifically innacurate statements. Not even about climate statistics but basic things like displacement theory. I don’t think that makes his argument any less important, but as someone with a scientific background it certainly bothered me. I could also see people using the incorrect statements as a reason to discredit the book as a whole, so I wish he would edit those things and make a new edition. I also didn’t appreciate the several instances of fatphobia.
Moderate: Body shaming, Fatphobia, Suicide, and Antisemitism
