Old story, told poorly

  • Book Rating: 2/5

This lecture was filled with more pomp than substance: the introduction takes up the first several minutes and the speaker never lives up to the accolades heaped upon him. Although many of his points are valid, there is very little that makes this telling of environmental issues and related global transformations particularly compelling.
