THE UNINHABITABLE EARTH Life After Warming

Author David Wallace-Wells narrates his impressively researched work on climate change, providing statistics and probable outcomes of the catastrophic effects already in progress as a result of global warming. Also included are descriptions of how much worse they could potentially become if drastic action is not taken. While he provides a passable narration, a more experienced narrator might have provided more variation to better hold the listener's interest while relaying the extensive list of imminent adverse effects of climate change. All in all, the work is alarmist and anxiety producing, a veritable litany of dire consequences--but this approach may be what is needed to raise our collective consciousness about the seriousness of the situation.
