In astonishing and unflinching detail, a noted science journalist explains how Earth''s climate will be impacted with every degree of increase in global warming--and what can be done about it now.
 
Annotation:
In 2001, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a report predicting that the Earth's surface will increase nearly 6 degrees Celsius over the next hundred years as a result of global warming. What would such a shift in temperature mean for the planet and human civilization? In the extensively researched, and highly disturbing SIX DEGREES, journalist Mark Lynas (RISING TIDE), provides a graphic description of the impact of the escalating heat: after a one degree increase, coral reefs and mountain glaciers would be destroyed; a three degree increase would destroy rainforests, and create massive new deserts; a six degree increase would lead to mass extinction and would create such environmental pressures that civilization might crumble into cataclysm. This fascinating and visceral account of the very-real danger of global warming reads like a disaster film, but is backed by the latest scientific knowledge and computer modeling available--it will be a wake up call for anyone who doubts the influence of a few degrees of heat on our modern way of life.
