Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet 'Six Degrees' is an eye-opening and vital account of the future of our Earth and our civilisation if current rates of global warming persist. What if average temperatures rose by up to six degrees in the next 100 years? Entire nations are uninhabitable. Entire populations have been wiped out. Arid land cracks and peels in some areas of the globe. In others, deluges of flood water ravage the earth. Welcome to a world six degrees warmer. Welcome to our future. In this explosive book Mark Lynas investigates scientists' claims that the next century will see global temperatures rise between one and six degrees, with devastating results. As the temperature creeps us degree by degree, chapter by chapter, Lynas takes us through these six stages of global warming and issues a global warning: act now, or risk mass extinction. Truly vital reading, 'Six Degrees' shows us a way to forge a new world before it's too late. |
