WORTH CONSUMING!

I finished this at 6am last night. It was set for my science studies class, and I was determined I was going to finish it. I feel like I am a slow reader and can never finish things as fast as other people, so I had a demon to slay.

The book is about the process of how global warming and its cause(s) were slowly discovered over more than a century, and then the politics of what happened once it was discovered. It is interesting both from a science/ideas point of view, and from a social issues/politics etc. point of view, both of which I am interested in.

It was a really easy read, and yet I learnt heaps, stuff that I thought I knew but realised that I was completely ignorant about, and other stuff that I hadn’t even thought about the fact that I didn’t know it because I hadn’t conceived of it.

Well worth the read, it wasn’t just a ra-ra we’re all gonna die kinda climate change book, it was really complex, without being wishy-washy.
