- Will Come New York Times The Water

Trump’s call for some of that “good old global warming” ecause it’s cold outside reflects the views (or as some might prefer to call — idiocy) of many a climate-change denialist. But the truth could hit us ooner than we thought, unless we act now. Critics Top book of 2017, by journalist Jeff Goodell, is not here to make you feel good or optimistic about the future of our planet — and rightly so. Climate change is raising sea levels, and it’s happening from Miami to Venice, Nigeria, Bangladesh and the Marshall Islands. Goodell talks of the urgent need to stop burning fossil fuels. Sceptics are sure to reevaluate their views with this book that combines staggering expert statements with captivatin­g anecdotes. We have to work right now, right this moment, and we have to work harder and faster, or the water will indeed come for us.
