About book Diez Mil Millones (2013)

Short and devastating. I don't entirely agree with some of the facts presented – embedded water is more complex than stated; ice sheet melt is a little incorrect as written; no allowance is made for recyclability; renewable energy holds far more promise than suggested; and frankly I cannot see how we'll possibly get to 10 billion with all of these enormous systemic limits we're crashing headlong into – yet ultimately these only affect the rate of looming cataclysm, not the underlying conclusions. I hope and try to act as if we aren't, but it is so very hard not to believe we aren't indeed totally, utterly fucked. I really really liked this book all of the facts and figures were interesting. the book was really well researched. I learnt a lot from reading this book.This is a very very fast read you will probably get it done in one sitting, it also looks really nice on your shelf(and being so short will help with the reading challenge).I would highly recommend this book to pretty much everyone but if you have an interest in the environment it will be a must read.
