A well documented summary of studies relating to the effects of climate change. The chapters are organized by the effects on people, the economy,and the climate for every additional degree of temperature increase. The book is written for an educated layman and is quite interesting. Over half of the book is dedicated to an extensive bibliography which is very thorough and useful for further research.

"Savannah Shange's PROGRESSIVE DYSTOPIA is an activist ethnography of Robeson Justice Academy, a progressive Black and Brown school in San Francisco, which despite its commitments to social justice ends up replicating anti-Blackness. Black students are more likely to be punished, and progressive 'wins' at the school can come at a cost to Black San Francisco residents. Shange worked at the school for seven years. Moving through different registers-- Black English, neighborhood dialects, academic prose, and ethnography-- the book attends to the tensions between coalition, anti-blackness, and the state, theorizing events at the school in the context of the long afterlives of slavery"--
