( ) A pretty good look at climate change, from the evidence that it is indeed happening to the options we might pursue to mitigate it. Very informative and even-handed. Too bad it doesn't look good. The art is all grayscale and wobbly, with thick and blotchy lines that often fail to connect or drop out in the middle. It reminded me of an old comic strip hanging on an officer worker's cubicle wall that was third-generation photocopy of a fax of a mimeograph. I love how the author has explained an important and currently critical issue in a fun and interesting manner through a comic. Kids will not only find this readable compared to textbooks but they'll also enjoy reading it. Note: I received a free copy of this book from the publisher. This has not influenced my review in any way. A quick and easy read, but frustrating. Some of the statements are mistaken information, and the solutions are pat, simple, market based technological innovations, with no reference to the fact that there are real downsides to most of the solutions mentioned. The book is typical of books written by economists who are environmentally conscious, but want to make money from climate change. They did some good research, but there were places that could have used better fact checking, and better information. Also, the idea that prosperity will increase wealth for everyone, and poor people will become fewer, had already been demonstrated by actual events to be false long before this book was written. The book should be consumed with caution, and a good fact-checker. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
