I truly was cheering out loud when he was calling out certain flawed research that garnered so much attention. He goes deep into important data. This work matters to me. But, most importantly, he did not dehumanize poor people, relegating them to data points. Remarkable

A profound and sobering book. is a remarkable writer. Please read this. As a recovering policy wonk, I cheered at the connections he made about complexity, elitism and policy inefficacies.

The situation is bad, and it will get much worse if we fail to act now. The window of opportunity is rapidly closing, but we can still create a better future and indeed presence.
Don't ignore equity! Don't ignore the latest science! Let citizens decide. Together, we can do this.

15 scientists & academics are currently staging a sit-in at the EZK ministry, demanding more urgent climate action.
