Field Notes from a Catastrophe
Field Notes from a Catastrophe – Review
Little by little the skeptics of global warming are eventually falling away. Let’s hope this brief and very influential book stirs loose a few more of them, because Kolbert, an impartial reporter and one of the best non-fiction writers of English today, makes it clear that the time to act on anthropogenic climate change is ten years ago. Were it not that the subject matter is naturally depressing, this book would be a pure pleasure to read—and as it is, it can and should be widely read by everyone who has a middle school diploma. If you are contemplating eventually buying it, finish just reading the reviews right now and make the purchase. Then read it and pass it on.
