Firstly, the book is eight years old and climate change is a fast moving problem. This book is entirely based upon the rise in CO2, rather than the modern norm of bringing mass extinction, soil degradation, ocean acidification and climate justice, to name just a few of our problems.
The book is a strange amalgam of both English and American idioms and spelling which, can be rather disconcerting as is the number of unchecked spelling and grammatical errors. This may seem petty but, when the purpose of the book is to emphasise the importance of accuracy in the way we present climate change, I would have liked better.
OK, so now that I have savaged the book, why have I given it four stars?
George Marshall includes conversations with a multitude of 'players' in the climate sphere: not all of a single view. Climate deniers get their space but NOT the old BBC standard of allowing some flat earther to have equal airtime to a respected scientist!
Considering the age of the book, I was also impressed to find information that has not been repeated in the many other climate books that I have consumed.
The last chapter's report of 4degree centigrade acceptance is particularly interesting. Although, we are likely to be heading for a similar figure now, we are not allowed to mention anything over one and a half degrees!
