The US Review of Books (USRB) highly praised “Global Warming: The Problem” by Wilfred Candler

Mihir Shah of the US Review of Books reviewed and commended the excellent book by Wilfred Candler, “Global Warming: The Problem,” which highlights that “his book is simultaneously an informative manual and an impassioned plea for people to wake up and understand the need to immediately break the status quo. Using a compelling combination of prose, figures, charts, and even historical context, the author delivers a complete picture of global warming and the ramifications of not taking heed, particularly for the generations to come. In fact, Candler argues that knowledge of CO2 emissions has been available for nearly two centuries.”
“Global Warming: The Problem” by Wilfred Candler is a masterpiece that has been receiving accolades from reliable and credible reviewers for many years in the industry. Aside from the positive feedback from the USRB, this book has also received commendations from both Hollywood Book Reviews (HBR) and Pacific Book Review. Also, it was among the books displayed and published by Author Reputation Press during the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books 2023 at the University of Southern California on April 22–23, 2023.
The Hollywood Book Reviews’ Ephantus M. acclaimed the book and said that “Global Warming: The Problem by author Wilfred Candler is a booklet that gears toward making a modest contribution to the crucial environmental cognition of our industriousness and political oversight.”
Pacific Book Review’s Christina Avina wrote in the review that “thoughtful, captivating, and engaging, author Wilfred Candler’s Global Warming: The Problem is a must-read non-fiction book on environmentalism and the impact of humanity on the planet. The shocking reality of the uphill battle we as a species are facing and the dire nature of this book’s findings help to motivate and enlighten those without the knowledge of the direct causes of global warming in the modern day, as well as some of the solutions that would benefit us all as a society moving forward.”
Author Wilfred Candler, Ph.D., has been a Professor of Agricultural Economics at Massey University in New Zealand and Purdue University in the United States; subsequently, he worked briefly for the Canadian Government before joining the World Bank. As an Evaluation Officer at the World Bank, he spent several decades looking at and evaluating the impact of investment projects worldwide.
Here’s an excerpt from the US Review of Books that highlights:
“Candler’s concern for the environment is authentic, and his writing style is fearless. He calls it as it is. Not even sparing President Biden, he meticulously points out that yes, while Biden canceled the Keystone pipeline, a true environmentalist should be mortified that all pipelines were not canceled, leading the author to differentiate between fulfilling campaign promises and true care for environmental conservation. Further, he highlights many reasons to go nuclear, yet the obstinate adherence to fossil fuels can only mean one thing: avarice and greed trump the well-being of the planet.
There’s a poignant observation that Candler makes that is worth reflecting on: in 1940, there was not much being done about global warming. However, back then, the knowledge of such trouble was nonexistent. In the modern day, like in the story of “The Emperor has No Clothes,” we know yet we do nothing, and that is perhaps the greatest travesty. For those concerned about global warming, Candler’s book is worth a look.”
