The climate science is clear. Global warming is an urgent and largely man-made problem. The same science shows that, without a comprehensive global response, within a few short decades, death-dealing runaway global heating is absolutely assured. Unhappily it is equally obvious that the chance of the necessary action being taken is precisely zero The result of this is that, during the lifetime of your grandchildren, the sweeping aside of human civilisation through a succession of climate wars will become assured. By 2100 humanity, battered by an array of catastrophic climate disasters, will have witnessed a grim cull of billions of its numbers.
This future is not science fiction. The unforgiving thesis of this book is that the climate science and today's facts on the ground, lead inextricably to such a nightmarish tomorrow for our grandchildren - and it is my generation above all others, that will have done it to them.
