I gave this a 2.5 on StoryGraph but I'm rounding down here because it really wasn't very good.

I think I've just read too many climate books the past few years, but this did nothing for me. Don't feel like I learned much about climate change or how to deal with it. If you're thinking about picking this up. The Heat Will Kill You First, The Treeline, A Poison Like No Other (which is technically about plastics but touches on how that relates to climate change), Kings of the Yukon, Eager: The Surprising Secret Life of Beavers, or even Islands of Abandonment or Saving Tarboo Creek all do a much better job of discussing climate change and its effects, often with more interesting and concrete science and research to back it all up, and compelling possible solutions.
