Eyes Wide Open: Going Behind the Environmental Headlines

This was a great follow up to [b:This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate 23008107 This Changes Everything Capitalism vs. the Climate Naomi Klein https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1408714222s/23008107.jpg 41247321]. A really smart and comprehensive look at various issues related to climate change, and I was impressed by how deep it went for a short-ish YA nonfiction book. Definitely not afraid to call bullshit on climate change deniers :') Like Naomi Klein's adult NF book, Fleishman nails the very thin area between “seriously things are so fucked up we gotta fix it YESTERDAY” and “well we're already fucked so just give up now.” It's dire, but not without hope.Also, the format is great–lots of short sidebars with extra info and suggestions of YouTube videos to watch or websites to visit. Great backmatter, including a separate appendix for how to analyze media objectiveness. SO IMPORTANT. Great for school research assignments or for concerned young citizens. Or honestly for concerned adults who don't have the time/attention span to read [b:This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate 23008107 This Changes Everything Capitalism vs. the Climate Naomi Klein https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1408714222s/23008107.jpg 41247321], although again, I do 1000% recommend This Changes Everything.
