2071 Reviews

2071 is better than good: it is necessary * Guardian *
An engrossing overview of the most urgent issue of the century * The Times *
Pretty essential if you want a sensible overview on what is happening to our planet * Time Out *
Urgent and accessible. It's also hard to argue with, and scary. Essential reading ahead of December's key UN Climate Change conference * Evening Standard *
