Bit indirect actions they took. But at least it is hopeful.

This was a pretty good. It is absolutely different from what I imagined (pretty sure I misread the description a while ago), but it is still pretty good. There are, tho, a couple of jokes about "It will only get better from here" about 2015. Lovely book tho with a hopeful ending, which is pretty uplifting for a book about climate change. 

Reading notes:

The dad is such a dick about the main character's friends. 

The girlfriend is so deep into the illnesses caused by stuff, you might thing that she is about to tell you that your headache is due to cancer. 

Scam the rich hunter dudes out of their money, do it. 

Dad has a lot of belief in the politicians. 

The girlfriend is real harsh about mistakes, that were made by an accident/due to lack of knowledge.

Lil uncomfy about how people who do attacks that do not harm anyone are portrayed as villains and terorrists.

Would give more stars but unfortunately includes the trope about pesticides causing autism.

Rain has an extremely important message about climate change and environmental awareness (which I admittedly don’t know enough about). However, the storytelling was lacking for me.
