COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Great book ;) submitted by angie. on July 21, 2021, 6:44pm Teaches people a lot about global warming. Great book!

Interesting submitted by bfields on February 27, 2022, 11:59am I learned a lot. Just as a casual news consumer, I feel like I get only a narrow view of the possible solutions--I've heard a lot about solar power, but, say, refrigerant disposal isn't something I'd thought about! It was good to get a wider view.

I would have liked more text and care spent on the context and on how to interpret the numbers. Googling around helped fill in some of those gaps.

Pretty good, well laid out submitted by m d on July 9, 2023, 7:20pm More enriched, multi-dimensional approaches by everyday persons on practical level mand how to better impact our smaller communities, reach our politicians, etc. would be also helpful. It is quantifiably broken down into various industries and levels of impact which offers perspective, so that is helpful.
