Description

Climate change is not a theory we should still debate, but a reality that has already been felt on a global scale. In "High Tide", Mark Lynas takes us on a journey to show the impact of global warming in people's lives. From the thawing of Alaskan plains to the flooding in the UK, Lynas witnesses the worst effects of climate change firsthand. This book is not just a list of disasters, but a look at how people around the world are coping with the rapid changes brought about by global warming. Lynas shares his own experiences, including eating whale blubber in Alaska and swimming in shark-infested waters off the Great Barrier Reef. "High Tide" is an important book that presents a urgent argument with a personal and adventurous tone.
