Review of 'De klimaatoorlogen' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
"De klimaatoorlogen" is a book about war and why climate change may cause more war in the coming centuries. It studies the history of human kind and analyses the causes and outcomes of different wars at different times. Unlike what you might expect from the title, the book is mostly about wars and not so much about climate change.
It's in interesting view at what could happen and definitely a good counterargument to books like Abundance (Diamandis)
It's not the future I would like and it's certainly alarming to see some of the predictions regarding refugees in Europe already come true. Only 6 years after it was written.
The book itself is very hard to read. Very long run-on sentences that required second and third readings to properly understand. I'm not sure if this is due to the bad translation, but it was a struggle to finish this one.
