Riassunto

Where once scientists were concerned about gradual climate change, now more and more of them fear we will soon be dealing with abrupt change resulting from triggering hidden tipping points. With Speed and Violence tells the stories of these scientists and their work. It is the most up-to-date and readable book yet about the growing evidence for global warming and the large climatic effects it may unleash.

Recensione:

If you want to quickly get up to date on climate change and its consequences, I recommend With Speed and Violence: Why Scientists Fear Tipping Points in Climate Change. If you can read only one book on climate change, this is it. -Lester Brown, president, Earth Policy Institute
