Inquirer reviews …

… Jake Tapper's new book agrees with Donald Trump on at least one thing.

… Catherine Mangan's 'Tangerine': A debut thriller that will make a terrific movie.

… William T. Vollmann's 'No Immediate Danger': A searing indictment of climate denial, who we are, what we've done.

No Immediate Danger is divided into two parts, beginning with a primer. It is a kind of encyclopedia of the causes of climate change, including manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, and industrial chemicals, with occasional stretches of commentary and analysis that are some of the most compelling parts of the book.

While no one can deny that these things have an effect on the environment and, hence, climate, to regard them as the causes of climate change is obviously wrong, since the geological record indicates that Earth's climate has changed often in the past, and during much of that past the aforementioned factors did not figure at all.
