Provides an overview of the earth's climate system before explaining the process of human-induced climate change in an informed yet easy to understand manner. Rapley's reasoned approach is undeniably accurate and compelling. Clear, thought-provoking and emotive, it can and should be read in one sitting. More people should read this book.
One of the most concise and readable pieces about the climate crisis that is logical, frightening, and a bit hopeful. My one issue is that as a piece of writing it is not inherently theatrical.

Quite possibly the quickest and easiest book I've ever read. But you’ll see why once you open up the book for yourself. The pacing is quick and makes a good starting point to understand climate science at a more basic level. 2071 doesn't bog you down in pages of hard data. Instead there are only a few paragraphs per page, sometimes only just a sentence. It gives the book greater delivery for normally such a depressing topic no one wants to talk or think about.

A quick and basic introduction of the science of global warming.
Based on fact it reads more like a PowerPoint presentation than a book with 1 to 3 point per page. Some longer sentences, a bit of structure and chapters would have been a plus.
Surely there is some good knowledge here for the people that don't know more about the topics and wants a 1-0-1 class this being said some points could have been developed more.

The near future doesn’t look too good.
scary stuff. let's save the planet, ya'll
Should be compulsory to read. Without global collaboration there will be a very disappointing and unhealthy future for the generations to come.
This is very easy going and very informative .
A book that everyone living on the plant called Earth should read.
