How the British Isles Will Change as the World Heats Up. From 'one of the best science writers we have', a stark and authoritative vision of Britain after a century of global warming. This book is a precise and fiercely honest projection of what we know about climate change into the future of one small corner of the planet: the islands of Britain and Ireland. Kohn looks closely at six landscapes and one city to show how our world will have altered over the course of the century. This is a report from the near future that we cannot afford to ignore.
