It’s an ok book.
Might be a great if you understand deeper. It’s not for casual readers (including me)
But unlike other non-fictions it’s reasonably a fast read

The book is mixed with contents from not just climate change but women rights, equity in the world and many such.
They are included because they are directly related to climate change. But too much of this content dilutes the original focus of the book.
While it’s a great read, I would have preferred this to be subdivided into multiple books instead.
The other part I hated is the occasional “whinging” similar to her “how dare you” speech.
On climate change and awareness, I still prefer Bill Gates’ book over this.
