An interesting easy to read book. I'm relatively well informed with regards to climate change and issues of sustainability so nothing in this book should really come as a surprise. Nevertheless its discomforting to have it laid out so clearly. This book is worth reading and passing to people who need nudging and their eyes open.

This is a fascinating glimpse of the future. Glad I will not live to see most of it. I will now try to find the counter arguments.

This important book should be compulsory reading in all secondary schools, colleges and, most of all, by all politicians.

Required reading
This book should be read by everyone who cares what happens to humanity and our planet. Utterly terrifying, but presented in a reasoned and scientific way.

Six Degrees or how to take care of our planet
Six degrees very clearly shows life on earth in the near future if we keep boosting global warming.
