Rezensionen

If there were a Nobel Prize for clear thinking, Hannah Ritchie would have my vote. She doesn't just cut through the noise - she vaporizes it. With a scientist's rigor and a storyteller's grace, she shows us what the data actually says about the biggest challenges of our time. Her work is essential reading for anyone who still believes facts can change minds and optimism can change the world RUTGER BREGMAN, author of Utopia for Realists and Humankind

This pacey book is an antidote to the bewildering and contradictory arguments with which we are bombarded about climate change and net zero... A breath of fresh air Sunday Times, _Books of the Year_
