Could anyone recommend me a book on global warming/ climate change
Not read them but this list was complied by Bill Gates if i remember correctly, took these screenshots from another post on here.
O hey thanks……big fan of his recommendations…..these are already in my tbr?
Try Naomi Klein : ” This changes everything “
Highly recommend!
I thought about giving it a try…..but it had capitalism in its subtitle….and I’m just a kid about to graduate from high school who didn’t have economics???……would I be able to read it
Of course you can. Naomi wrote it for the global public, in a simple style.
I think if you can read it and understand all the concepts, you might be years ahead of your colleagues.
Bon courage.
But I don’t understand much capitalism ?
Capitalism is pretty easy to understand, actually. Adam Smith is easy to read too. It (C) was created for small economies, not global markets…
Capitalism means you’re free to buy what you want, and free to sell what you want.
No one loses, why ? Because it is regulated by an invisible hand, which is the interest of each one. Buyer and seller.
Ok ? When u go to a market you buy things u want, by the price that suits u most. And the seller also, they provide things you want, by price they want. If this interests are the same, everyone is happy.
Thank you @MaryElizabeth…..and thank you so much @YoussefIdrissi for going to this length to explain me

State of Fear by Michael Chrichton. Guess this is not what you were looking for, it is fiction, but good book.
The Sixth Extinction was fantastic
Following!
The “Science in the Capitol” series by Kim Stanley Robinson is climate-change related science fiction. That said, I loved these books and I do not read sci fi at all. Scenes from them have stayed with me like few others.
The Weather Makers by Tim Flannery
Reach out to Al Gore???
