The Great Disruption : How the Climate Crisis Will Transform the Global Economy by Paul Gilding

An interesting book that held my interest. Paul Gilding describes the problems of the finite resources that we are using at a rate that means they can not last based on the scientific and mathematical  evidence; facts that many people readily agree with.   His conclusion is that we won't change until the economic consequences of this starts to come into play.  He is confident that we will act and act very quickly when things become dire; virtually on a war footing.   I would have liked to have had more of his views as to how some of the problems, such as population and water shortages caused by global warming, might pan out.  A book well worth reading.

Rating 4/5
