I was so frustrated by that book (bought it on recommendation here) that I couldn't finish it.

He has one premise I agree with, that we can't decarbonize as quickly or easily as some hope. He then bludgeons the reader to death with it. I get it, okay!

Worse, much worse, he is incredibly myopic. For someone professing love and faith in science, he strangely seems to firmly believe we'll be stuck at our current technological level forever, the "end of history" fallacy on a whole other level. Have some faith in scientists, would you?

Factually, I don't doubt he's correct. But his assumptions and innuendo come off so strongly it completely ruined the book for me.
