Field Notes from a Catastrophe: Climate Change - Is Time Running Out? by Elizabeth Kolbert


Field Notes from a Catastrophe: Climate Change - Is Time Running Out? by Elizabeth Kolbert

Genre: non-fiction - ecological / climate change
Rating: very Good ****

Kolbert presents a variety of essays which show convincing evidence for global warming, from changes in the Arctic ice to the loss of spices of toads.
The science is kept to a minimum, while the real life examples are thoroughly presented.
A frightening book that shows how we are heading for a disaster if we don't act NOW.

Why more governments and more people don't do something is beyond me.
Everyone who cares about our future should read this book.
