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

dark funny informative sad fast-paced

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.
