I need to read this book. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. William T. Vollmann has a two-volume set called Carbon Ideologies-Volume 1, No Immediate Danger; Volume 2, No Good Alternative-that struggles with precisely what you communicate in this video. He strives to understand the causes of climate change as best he can, and then he reaches a similarly horrifying conclusion: the math for how to deal with it doesn't add up, and many solutions come at a great cost to massive amounts of people throughout the world. It's not a book that connects to the Congo; instead it's another road that leads to the same position you express here, one that leaves the author himself quite forlorn and fatalistic (it's written as a letter to future generations explaining why we did not solve the problem).
@@ToReadersItMayConcern I’ve never heard of Carbon Idealogies but I will check them out. Thanks for sharing them with me. I hope that you get a chance to read Cobalt Red. I’m still feeling the aftereffects of it.
