Eric Holthaus

This book speculates about the future of climate and life in our fast changing world. The author makes educated predictions about the decades to come laying out the work the world has ahead of it. Although it starts out quite depressing, this is one of the most positive and inspirational books I've ever read on the subject.

Liked the premise, but it took a long time to get to, and I kinda feel like science fiction does a better job at really delving into the possibilities.

I gave this 100 pages. And then I stopped, as I'll do when a book doesn't interest me. For a forecaster (Holthaus), there's not any forecasting here, just conjecture. He also spends pages and pages making the same basic point.

For what it's worth, I agree with the basic premise: anthropogenic climate change is real and we have to take drastic action immediately to combat it.
