Well, he's good at describing how we're living in an already warming world (which he does in th first half of the book), but he's still flailing around to find out how all of us can survive, he basically doesn't go beyond "act like what we're doing in Vermont". He never touches on what the future population will be, and how we will get there He claims that he doesn't feel any pride in being among the first to predict global warming, but his "I told you so" glee shines through in his writing (and I enjoyed it, as well, I was educated in a catastrophist milieu in the 1970s, it's good to see that some of what I learned was "right").

Read this book. It's worth repeating: Read this book. Especially chapter 1, which outlines all the evidence of climate change. It's petrifying just how far we've already come.
