Has anyone else here read "Under A Green Sky" by Peter Ward?

[NickB79]

A coworker of mine saw me reading it and asked me if I was depressed yet. I said no, why would I be? She told me to keep reading.

She wasn't wrong :-( The last chapter was an eye-opener for sure. And I can't get the thought of anoxic, Canfield oceans out of my head.

1. Yes

His books are very good.

2. A number of us here have read it

I have, and it gave me the same sense of dread and foreboding. Many of the things we worry about here are not planet-busters. Canfield oceans are.

3. I read it. It made me ill.

I'm still waiting for my tsunami nightmare to come true, where the huge chunk of ice breaks off the icecap and sea levels rise by a few inches globally all at once. :(
