Dear Colleagues, Hopefully you have all received an invite from Suzanne Reed to this community discussion of Greta Thunberg's "The Climate Book" organized by Brian, Suzanne, and Julia. I have just finished the book that is a collection of short essays by numerous people (including of course Greta) and highly recommend it! The breadth, scope, and detailed factual analysis (backed up by references that are accessible on-line) of these essays is, I believe, unparalleled in any book or paper on climate - certainly any recent and up to date book. Of course, though, unfortunately I don't think the "what we must do" proposals offered in the last section of the book will work for the short-term emergency climate-driven cooling crisis (as opposed to the long-term GHG draw down and natural regeneration more fundamental problem) that we now find our selves in, I cannot help but admiring Greta's, and many of other author's in the book, passionate pleas and willingness to speak the truth about where we are.
Some of the Essays that I found particularly enlightening (or like 4.8 - very unenlightened and begging for a response from us) are: All of Part One. 2.2, 2.3, 2.6, 2.11, 2.16, 2.20, 2.23 4.3, 4.8, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.21, 4.22 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.13, 5.14, and 5.19 And many more - there are very few essays that I did not learn something from even if I disagreed with some of their major themes!
