Sinossi
Viewed from above, Greenland offers an endless vista of whiteness interrupted only byscattered ponds of azure-colored melt water. Ninety percent of Greenland is covered by ice; its icesheet, the largest outside Antarctica, stretches almost 1,000 miles from north to south and 600miles from east to west. But this stark view of ice and snow is changing -- and changing rapidly.Greenland's ice sheet is melting; the dazzling, photogenic display of icebergs breaking offGreenland's rapidly melting glaciers has become a tourist attraction. The Fate ofGreenland documents Greenland's warming with dramatic color photographs and investigatesepisodes in Greenland's climate history for clues about what happens when climate change is abruptrather than gradual.
Greenland's climate past and present could presage ourclimate future. Abrupt climate change would be cataclysmic: the melting of Greenland's ice shelfwould cause sea levels to rise twenty-four feet worldwide; lower Manhattan would be underwater andFlorida's coastline would recede to Orlando. The planet appears to be in a period of acute climateinstability, exacerbated by carbon dioxide we pour into the atmosphere. As this book makes clear, itis in all of our interests to pay attention to Greenland.

Hardcover. Condizione: Like New. [From the library of noted scholar William E. Connolly.] Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Clean, unmarked pages. "William E. Connolly is Krieger-Eisenhower Professor in the political science department at Hopkins where he teaches political theory. His early book, The Terms of Political Discourse, was awarded the Benjamin Lippincott Award in 1999 as 'a work of exceptional quality that is still considered significant at least 15 years after publication.' In a poll of American political theorists published in PS in 2010, he was ranked the fourth most influential political theorist in America over the last twenty years, after Rawls, Habermas, and Foucault. His work focuses on the issues of democratic pluralism, capitalism, inequality, fascism, and bumpy intersections between capitalism and planetary amplifiers in climate change." - Johns Hopkins University.
