Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet by Mark Lynas – What will happen to the earth and human civilization if the planet warms by one-to-six degrees Celsius? Mark Lynas tries to answer this question by looking at warming data past and present, concluding that, depending on the level of warming, the consequences range from the loss of mountain glaciers and coral reefs to the total destruction of life on the planet. Lynas recommends some preventive measures to avoid this calamity, but are we already too late to implement them?
