The Parrot and the Igloo: Climate and the Science of Denial [Paperback]

A Brilliant.& With investigational skill and elegant writing, David Lipsky proves that the Washington DC climate deniers are charlatans, buffoons, and anti-science greedheads. Every page crackles with truth and wisdom. Highly recommended! An achievementits an amazing read. Essential. This is not a book lacking in ambition. Lipsky wants to tell the whole, sprawling, messy tale of climate change: how modern technology made it all happen, how scientists figured it out, and how a network of hustlers and hucksters distracted the public from the threat before our eyes. In the end he pulls it off, delivering a propulsive read that has the snap of a screenplay. Lipskys a major talent.& Its the velvety texture of well-tailored prose that makes this book a climate must-read&Lipsky marries a novelists stylishness to a journalists rigor to create a cinematic refashioning of the climate change story&My only quibble with this fantastic book [is] that it ends too soon.

Lipsky, award-winning author of books about West Point and a road trip with David Foster Wallace, brings his wide-angle lens to bear on global warming in There may be no such thing as a definitive look at the climate crisis, but Lipsky tries to cover what a reasonably well-informed person might have been expected to know. &Lipsky masterfully recounts it with tempered outrage and a winking, wry wit. The best nonfiction book Ive read in decades. And the best book of its kind Ive ever read. lƒ
