@Former Member posted:Finished reading "THE GREAT DERANGEMENT: Climate Change and the Unthinkable" by Amitav Ghosh. It's an assessment of the state of global warming caused chiefly by unrelenting human polluting activities. The steady increase and devastating power of cyclones, typhoons, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes etc. The failure of governments and environmental movements alike to curb the trend. A thought-provoking read. This book was published in 2016. Amitav Ghosh is an award-winning Indian writer and academic.
