Whilst this blog does not cover the science of climate change in its entirety, I would like to draw your attention to a very worthwhile read. Six degrees written by Mark Lynas in 2007, explores the scientific rationale underpinning the climate change debate that global temperatures will increase between one and six degrees. Lynas (2007) undertakes a thorough review of the academic literature and rather masterfully as the temperature increases by 1 °C, on a chapter by chapter basis, takes the reader through six stages of global warming according to projections. I believe it is an excellent read for anyone interested in climate change.
This book was particularly inspiring for me and was one of the key factors for pursuing my interest in the science of climate change.
As Lynas (2007: xxii) writes:
“Climate change is the canvas on which the history of twenty-first century will be painted. Forewarned and forearmed”.
