This lively and information-packed picture book for grownups is serious but not solemn, irreverent but never indifferent.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Another version I'd love feedback on:
"Cooling a Fevered Planet" is a lively and information-packed picture book for grownups. It is serious but not solemn, irreverent but never indifferent. At fewer than 80 pages this graphical survey of the economics, policy and politics of solving the climate crisis leaves the reader energized and informed.

This lively and information-packed picture book for grownups is serious but not solemn, irreverent but never indifferent.
I like this a lot.
I'd cut the number of pages in favor of "This graphical survey economically communicates the essentials of solving the climate crisis, leaving you informed, energized and ready for action."
I'm assuming the book includes a call to action.
Stating the pages a) suggests that I, as a reader, don't have the patience and/or interest (which I might, you don't know) and b) makes it seem like a pamphlet. I see the interest in advertising a short read, but I think it leaves an impression you might not want.

Final version?
"Cooling a Fevered Planet" is a lively and information-packed picture book for grownups. It is serious but not solemn, irreverent but never indifferent. This succinct graphical survey of the economics, policy and politics of solving the climate crisis leaves the reader informed and energized.
short instead of concise? Or succinct. I think succinct is better, and changed it. And changed to informed and energize.

I do too, and I would say informed and energized. You know, now that I'm informed, I'm energized to go solve this thing.

Sounds good, Typo.
So I went to my first F2F networking thing for area small businesses. It went well -- a lot of people really came up and asked me about wordslinger, so people were approaching me, which was awesome.
And I won a prize; a 2 day web design training seminar, which is so perfect, I can't even say.
ION, I am exhausted, and going to drop down dead in a few minutes.
