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!

Insightful

Very insightful and informative book. Complex concepts broken down into easy and digestible language!l

bueno y entendible

muy buen libro, pone en palabras sencillas el verdadero problema del cambio climático y cuales son las soluciones para individuos y para gobiernos, me gusta especialmente el punto de vista de los países en desarrollo.

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.

A must read if you care about future

A comprehensive guide showing what is the path and waht needs to be done to try to avoid catastrophic climate change.
