Critics Review
This is exactly the kind of mapping out that we need to make the zero carbon world happen. Chris Goodall’s plan is well argued and delightfully readable.
Chris Goodall is the kind of person we need to lead us to safety faced with climate change. I learned so much reading this book. It’s crisp, superbly researched - and remarkably calm. We can do this.
