Description
We inhabit a planet in peril. Our once temperate world is locked on course to become a hothouse entirely of our own making. Hothouse Earth: an Inhabitant's Guide provides a post-COP26 perspective on the climate emergency, acknowledging that it is now practically impossible to keep this side of the 1.5°C dangerous climate change guardrail. The science behind the climate crisis is explained by Bill McGuire, Professor of Geophysical and Climate Hazards, in a blunt but authentic picture of the world our children will grow old in, and our grandchildren will grow up in. This is a world that we catch only glimpses of in today's blistering heatwaves, calamitous wildfires, and ruinous floods and droughts. A bleak picture, perhaps, but one that must be faced if genuine action is to be taken to stop a harrowing future from becoming a truly cataclysmic one.
