Informative, convincing, clear
So helpful to have the amorphous and overwhelming epoch ending problem so clearly defined. So grateful for the action points, thank you Mr Gates!

good practical book on the climate
good book. None of the alarmist paranoia. I wish it was read by a bloke that had more the temperament of Gates. But you could ignore that and get used to it and only a problem with tone. Practical way to think about the problem and the solutions

Fantastically pragmatic and a-political
What an exceptional, pragmatic, a-political and accessible book about how to correct our trajectory away from a climate disaster. Great analysis, that gives you good rules of thumb without overwhelming you with confusing details. Linking that directly to actions and outcomes so readers can walk away empowered to make a difference and have some hope.
