Product Description

Review

'Scientists predict that global temperatures will rise by between one and six degrees over the course of this century and Mark Lynas paints a chilling, degree-by-degree picture of the devastation likely to ensue unless we act now!"Six Degrees" is a rousing and vivid plea to choose a different future.' Daily Mail 'The saga of how, in the world as imagined by thousands of computer-modelling studies, global warming kicks in degree by degree. "Six Degrees", I tell you now, is terrifying.' Sunday Times 'Brilliant and higly readable.' Sunday Times 'Buy this book for everyone you know: if it makes them join the fight to stop the seemingly inexorable six degrees of warming and mass death, it might just save their lives.' New Statesman 'An apocalyptic primer of what to expect as the world heats up!it's sobering stuff and shaming too. Despite its sound scientific background, the book resembles one of those vivid medieval paintings depicting sinners getting their just desserts.' Financial Times 'Gripping ***.' The Scotsman 'Mark Lynas!has time-travelled into our terrifying collective future!Go with him on this breathtaking, beautifully told journey!I promise that you will come back!determined to alter the course of history.' Naomi Klein, author of 'No Logo' 'Clear, lucid and informative.' New Statesman 'A thoroughly engaging and well-researched book.' Times Literary Supplement 'Written with passion and packed with an impressive amount of information.' The Guardian 'In this highly accessible book, Lynas lays out just what we can expect with each progressive temperature rise, before stating exactly what needs to happen regarding decreasing carbon emissions, among other things. This stuff used to be the preserve of scientists and governments. As Lynas makes painfully clear, it is now our problem, too.' Metro

Independent

`This book is not for the faint-hearted...Lynas gives us something think about.'

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

4.0 out of 5 stars The future if we continue to act stupidly, 19 May 2010
By 
A. Cotton "AJR" (London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Paperback)
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.
