If I don't give this five stars, then I cannot claim to know what I'm saving the fifth star for. 

The two differences between a good climate change book and an average climate change book are simple; do they address carrying capacity, and do they have some solutions in mind? This one does, and does so elegantly. The solutions are a tad debatable, and that is the only flaw I can find. 

You can hear the authors narration as you read. The book is well paced and does not dwell on the already overexposed symptoms, but calls out the root cause and makes suggestions. It teaches each point well. There is nothing for me to do but recommend.
