Parts and authors[edit]

The Climate Book is organised in five parts:[1]

Reception[edit]

A Publishers Weekly reviewed praised the book's passion and "lucid and accessible" explanations of global warming, and concluded that the book is "comprehensive and articulate".[17] Gaia Vince from The Guardian commented that Thunberg wrote with directness, which she evaluated as "both refreshing to read and tiring". Vince also complimented numerous other writers, but criticised the lack of coverage on technologies that could potentially be solutions, including geo-engineering and nuclear power, concluding that the book is superb in explaining the importance of preventing climate change but has "little pragmatism over what to do about now-certain changes".[13] A review from The Daily Telegraph awarded the book four out of five stars, praising the book's "stunningly handsome" design and calling it a "superb vademecum", but critiqued the book's thinking as "anti-capitalistic" and "anti-technology".[18]
