Wow, what a terrific but terrifying read. This are hot and only getting hotter. Yes the heat will kill humans but of course those on the fringes first. It‘s also going to ruin our systems, notably our food supply. The global south will suffer first, and of course sea waters are rising and wildfires are happening much more often. Can we change in time? Will we? I‘m sad, but this is a great book.

Leftcoastzen Between May & September 2023, 645 people died in Maricopa county, Az. Arizona‘s most populous, home to Phoenix. While many were homeless, some people often seniors had no or less effective Air Conditioning. Heat so serious here the power companies are not allowed to turn your power off in the summer from lack of payment. Heat kills the most people, the headlines seem to go to other extreme weather events. 2w

The last book I had to read for my Frankenstein and climate change class!!!!! This book was much more accessible and easy to read than the tambora book we had to read. I still didn‘t enjoy it (and I didn‘t enjoy the essay I had to write on it) but at least it was better than that. I‘m glad I didn‘t have to read it as summer reading for college tho

#naturalitsywintersolace #nonfiction recommendation

As this book won my nonfiction bracket for best read of 2023, I can't really not highlight it for this week!

Yes, I know the author is a conspiracy theorist, but this book really opened my eyes to some of the science (NOT A STRONG SUBJECT FOR ME) and some of the possible solutions. I'm NOT a climate change denier, but this book made me question what we're being told in the news.

wanderinglynn I haven‘t read this book, but I‘m skeptical just from reading the blurb. Scientists learned back in the late 1950s that CO2 concentrations were rising and climate modeling began in the late 1960s. It sounds a lot like he‘s a debunker trying to frame it as if he isn‘t. If you‘re interested in the topic, I can recommend some better books, with better sourced science, than this one. 3mo
jenniferw88 @wanderinglynn Thanks, I may pick your brain later for recs. I've also read this one, which is sort of 'in conversation with' the tagged 3mo
Chrissyreadit I do worry about this- climate has been surveyed for far longer than that and there is robust science to show the impact of man beginning with the industrial age. We addressed some of this when we changed how aerosols were made and used. The biggest difference in the 80‘ was that it was not just scientists talking about it. Factory farming was growing in an unprecedented way and environmental activists were recognizing there was an impact there. 3mo

I really enjoyed this engrossing book on a cold climate. It's a perfect winter read, especially if you're tucked up nice and warm. ❄️ 📖❄️

So well written, the prologue hooked with a terrible tragedy that could easily happen to any of us. We can't keep wasting time. People are unwittingly moving to areas that are growing considerably hotter with the expectation that we'll just keep cranking up the AC and pumping in water. It's not sustainable. With every area on the planet heating up, the impacts to the food supply and political stability are a nightmare already started.

I've read--and enjoyed--all three of Goodell's books on climate change, and this one was, by far, the best.

Suet624 You're brave. Do you just want to curl up and whimper after reading one of his books? 4mo
keithmalek @Suet624 Is there any other type of book? 4mo

This reads like a series of magazine essays about climate change. Goodell is an engaging writer who puts himself in the narrative just enough to humanize but not overly personalize. This was one of my scary reads for October. It‘s excellent! 🥵
