The Parrot and the Igloo: Climate and the Science of Denial by David Lipsky

encgolsen's review

dark funny informative sad fast-paced

4.75

This book is excellent and very, very upsetting. Science has known, with steadily increasing certainty, what existential danger our rampant consumption of fossil fuels has posed since long before I was born. I'm about to turn 50. Corporations chose greed over a habitable world, profits at the cost of our children's futures, deceit and delay over humanity. It is sickening. I should add that the book is written in a very vivid, colorful style--it was an entertaining book, just in a laugh or cry, gallows humor sort of way.
