Climate Worrier - the reviews are in and good!
My latest book ‘Climate Worrier is available wherever there are books! Here’s a good place to start
So far, the Irish Times said this: I admit I turned a little sniffily from this deeply serious book to Colm O’Regan’s take on the crisis. I thought I wasn’t in the mood for humour by the author of Bolloxology. I was so wrong. I needed it.
O’Regan’s highly personal narrative is driven by exuberant and irreverent comic energy. But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t done his homework on climate change and biodiversity loss, and he obviously cares passionately about them. While there are no graphs and very few statistics here, and his thought processes are like fireworks on acid, he communicates both the complexity of the crisis, and the wild contradictions in our responses to it, exceptionally well.
At the outset he modestly warns us: “if you read one book about fixing climate change, don’t make it this one.” I’m not so sure. As he also says, “it’s clear that how the message is delivered is as important as the message now”. His refreshingly original delivery is a real contribution to spreading what Thunberg rightly describes as “the biggest story in the world”.
