I have not seen the review but the Mitt Jeserich show as heard on KPFK Monday (10 AM 6 March 2017) featured the author flogging his book. He admits the tools of science developed in his lifetime have been a huge help in understanding past times of global warming and global cooling. He cited examples of natural disasters in the past that made people reluctant to live near the coast, but said how could you move Shanghai today?
There will be an estimated ten million people needing refuge from the rising waters of the oceans by midcentury. Already India has built walls, etc. to keep Bangladeshis from moving in.
