This book would be a lot more impactful if it was shorter and tighter. The facts are exhaustively listed and cited, but it just comes off as more exhausting than thorough. You're likely to learn something new, probably something horrifying, but this is unlikely to change any minds. It is also particularly frustrating to read this years after it was published, and see that so little has changed in the intervening years.

I can't see this changing anyone's mind. It presents the overwhelming facts of climate change that everyone already knows, and which any denialist has already come to terms with ignoring.

Klein is so committed to her approach of listing off facts, that in a rare paragraph where she discusses her own feelings, rather than make any effort to communicate those feelings, she simply enumerates the scenarios: "I felt some things when I saw XYZ, and I also felt some things when I saw ABC, and I also felt some things when I saw DEF..." No effort is made to explain what she feels, and definitely not to help the reader feel those things alongside the author.
