This book wasn't as entertaining as its precursor, but it was still enjoyable to read. I found the final chapter completely interesting, particularly the innovative ideas for weakening hurricanes or possible counteractions to global warming. Recreating the sulfuric dioxide output produced by a volcanic eruption in order to create a stratospheric shield? I don't know enough about geo-engineering to form an opinion, but it's definitely fascinating. The funniness of the epilogue, which nicely reminded us of everything the book had covered, was a nice surprise at the end of this interesting book. I liked that the topics covered in this book seemed more current than some of the issues in the first book. It had the same tendency of seeming to wander a bit far afield on different tangents so much that you could forget what they were originally talking about, but they were generally interesting. I really enjoy listening to the author read.
Quick, easy and reminded me of all the economics podcasts I've read over the years.

More of the same. Only I was less impressed/ entertained the second time around.
