PositiveThe Irish Times (IRE)... many standout moments ... In war there are casualties, including the innocent. While Mann rightly blasts delayers and cynical \'eco-modernists\' such as Bill Gates, Bjorn Lomborg and Michael Shellenberger, some of his volleys inflict collateral damage on good faith climate allies such as George Monbiot and Prof Kevin Anderson ... a punchy, provocative, informed, sometimes idiosyncratic but also deeply personal take on the crisis, by a respected voice in the climate science and communications field.
David Wallace-Wells
MixedThe Irish TimesAs a fellow non-environmentalist who stumbled journalistically into climate change as a \'story\' some 15 or so years ago, I have some sympathy for Wallace-Wells ... What I found disappointing is that his grim journey of discovery does not yet appear to have widened his circle of empathy beyond the fate of humanity ... the author only filters this as a potentially cautionary tale for humans ... Rather than advancing and refining his original arguments, the book feels rushed, and might have benefitted from a good deal more editing to clarify and develop his arguments.
