Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet by Mark Lynas
4.0
Read this book if you want to be terrified about how little we're currently doing to prevent climate change.
This book was super interesting. The author read a ton of different papers on climate change, separated them into categories by temperature (1 degree Celsius through 6 degrees Celsius), and then gave us the less technical rundown. It was really amazing (and super scary) reading about what the world would look like in a 1 degree change vs a 3/4/5 degree change took place.
It was a little disheartening that the book was written 10 years ago so we've already missed some of the dates on capping CO2 levels, but it was also super inspiring. 4 stars because I wish it had included maps and some images (I kept having to pause to look stuff up).
