Articoli correlati a The Last Generation
Climate change is not a matter of gradually increasing temperatures. New scientific findings about how our planet works show that it does not do gradual change. Under pressure, it lurches into another mode of operation. Man-made global warming is on the verge of unleashing unstoppable planetary forces. Biological and geological monsters are being woken, and they will consume us. Virtually overnight Nature's revenge will be sudden and brutal, like a climatic tsunami sweeping across the globe. No question, we are the last generation to live with any kind of climatic stability. In this impassioned report, Fred Pearce travels the world on the story to end them all. Most troubling, while visiting the places where the action may start: deep in the Amazon, high in the Arctic and among the bogs of Siberia, he uncovers the first signs that nature's revenge is already under way.

Recensione:
"Pearce is no idle Jeremiah...his book signals a shift of tone in the popular debate...The Last Generation makes you feel that we know enough now to conceive of the problems ahead. And anticipating a problem is half way to being able to do something about it." (James Flint The Daily Telegraph 20060701)
"This is the most frightening book that I have ever read...everyone should read this book to find out what is going wrong with the world." (John Gribbin The Independent 20060731)
"One of Britain's finest science writers. He is a sceptic of the best sort, saying nothing until he has seen the truth of it for himself." (Richard Girling The Sunday Times 20060625)
"A crystal clear wake-up call from one of the finest science writers in the world." (Dr Jeremy Leggett )
"Apocalyptic in its vision, but never scare-mongering, The Last Generation superbly explains and dramatizes both the causes and the consequences of climate change. One reads it both gripped, and deeply alarmed." (Robert Macfarlane )
