The Unhabitable Earth: A Story of The Future by David Wallace-Wells

BATB score: 7.6/10

This is not a book. This is a research paper in disguise.

This research paper has a point: the no-plastic-tote-bag lifestyle is not the answer.

(1) Climate change is a natural phenomenon. It happens every millennium (1000 years) - that's why the dinosaurs went bye-bye. But this time, global warming is made-man and is happening within centuries (100 years).

(2) Global warming started with the Industrial Revolution 1800s by big powers: consumerism, economics, politics-diplomacy, capitalism, and business giants. Any fix would have to be the stated stakeholders. Theodore Roosevelt Industrial Revolution VS Donald Duck.

(3) Y2100, the effect of this climate change is unevenly distributed where the least develop would be hit first. There would be 100M climate change refugees from Indonesian flooded island, famine in Congo, and broken-down India.

(4) The answer is our VOTE and VOICE - demanding for big powers to care. Greta Thunberg is right to have spoken at the World Economic Forum, UN, and US Congress. That's the power we need to fix this NOT the no straws and tote bags movement. (5) Stop thinking that Elon Musk will save us.

Best for: well, it's a research paper.
