Very good book! it is good to understand that climate change is a middle ground problem. loved reading it !
I enjoyed the book and gleaned a lot of insight into what reality vs fiction are. The book should be a 5 for the data alone. Unfortunately Bjorn has the same problem Steve Pinker does. They both like to arbitrarily declare things problems right after they explain why it’s really not. Very frustrating Nicky Pfreemarketsgreenearth.com
Finally, a rational, explicit, factual examination of the climate problem without denying that it is a problem but also without panicked exaggeration! This topic is so heated, so politically divisive that it seems we will never come to an agreement that will protect the environment and those of us who live within it. THIS, THIS,..

Says the Japanese were firing a 155mm at the author from close range? They did not use 155mm And it’s strictly a long range cannon anyway. No artillery officer would imagine this First the author has a battery of 105 mm then it turns into 155mm, then back to 105. Battalion one? Try first battalion…
Those of a conservative evangelical persuasion would do better to read John Owen’s treatment of shame in his work on the Holy Spirit (Pneumatologia), Book 4, Chapter 4-5 concerning the “defilement” and “pollution” of sin with its cleansing in the blood of Christ.
