Book Review: Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming (2019). David Wallace-Wells.

This book contains a series of essays detailing the extent of climate change damage to the earth and its environment and species that have already occurred, and where current trends are likely to take us.  

The author also makes clear how long we have already known about this problem, and failed to take meaningful steps to remediate it, and outlines much of what we know about what the fossil fuel industry has done to prevent progress on climate change, in order to protect its investments and profits. 

It’s all fairly grim and depressing, but important reading for informed citizens.  Recommended.
