This book is a good introduction to the issue of global warming and what to do about it, but the discussion is in many places oversimplified, and in a few places, questionable. I suppose that's the problem with reading a book writte for lay people in your own field of expertise; you tend to find it boring and predictable. Also, some of the proposed solutions are unlikely to be particularly successful, but the disadvantages are not always thoroughly enumerated.

Captain Moore's book Plastic Oceans led me to this book, but I was disappointed. It seemed a privileged macho ego trip rather than something useful. Yes, the people are beautiful, and had scads of fun and adventures. But there is little addition to science. I hope they increased awareness of the problems of the oceans....

A basic read and informative on some simple ways to help our planet. Towards the end of the book it becomes tongue and cheeck. It's pretty obvious if you look at the funny illustrations that were added. Other than that I enjoy this book.
