One of our world’s greatest dangers facing our species and the planet as a whole is global warming. The changes to our environment and the impact our society and technological advancements have had on the world’s ecosystems and weather patterns is difficult to comprehend, and yet the need to fully understand these changes and accept our role in these changes in stopping the progress of global warming and reverse the adverse effects on our world. Yet the only way to do this is to understand the problems facing our environment now.
In author Wilfred Candler’s Global Warming: The Problem, the author follows up his 2007 book Global Warming: The Answer by taking a look at the multi-dimensional problems facing our world today and contributing to the global warming problem. No longer a simple question of stopping the use of fossil fuels, the author explores the causes and effects of various industries and materials contributing to the deterioration of the environment, including the actions of fossil fuel companies trying to extend blame to nuclear power, and the impact of the world population as a whole.
The author does a wonderful job of sharing complex ideas about the science behind global warming in a way which speaks to the reader in a comprehensive way. The expertise and gravity of the author’s writings style and the intricate details the author put into the facts of this study highlight the urgency and need for both this subject and the author’s need to get the public far more knowledgeable and aware of the impact we are having on the world. The fascinating moments came in more retrospective passages, such as the study of crop circle phenomena and the faux fear that many feel towards nuclear energy due to its association with nuclear weapons, for the need for clean fuel is massive and only by understanding the ins-and-outs of the use of these new power sources can we hope to achieve any meaningful change.
This is the perfect read for those who enjoy non-fiction reads about environmentalism, especially those with a specific technology and science application and the study of biology in fossils. The balance of scientific data and analysis with contemplative and thought-provoking discussions fueled by the author’s writing and directly connected to the reader as a whole made this such a powerful and memorable read.
Thoughtful, captivating, and engaging, author Wilfred Candler’s Global Warming: The Problem is a must-read non-fiction book on environmentalism and the impact of humanity on the planet. The shocking reality of the uphill battle we as a species are facing and the dire nature of this book’s findings help to motivate and enlighten those without the knowledge of the direct causes of global warming in the modern day, as well as some of the solutions that would benefit us all as a society moving forward.
