Climate book recommended

Tue., July 18, 2017

For most folks (other than those too ideological to consider the interaction between extreme big oil and our warming planet), I recommend Naomi Klein’s “This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate.” It is every bit as significant as Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring,” but this time it is extreme big oil going to outlandish lengths to recover oil and coal while showing no regard for our overheating planet. Well-written and meticulously documented.
