520    In accessible journalistic prose, author Lynas distills 
       what environmental scientists predict about the 
       consequences of human pollution for the next hundred years,
       degree by degree. At 1 degree Celsius, most coral reefs 
       and many mountain glaciers will be lost. A 3-degree rise 
       would spell the collapse of the Amazon rainforest, 
       disappearance of Greenland's ice sheet, and the creation 
       of deserts across the Midwestern United States and 
       southern Africa. A 6-degree increase would eliminate most 
       life on Earth, including much of humanity. Based on 
       authoritative scientific articles, the latest computer 
       models, and information about past warm events in Earth 
       history, this promises to be an eye-opening warning that 
       humanity will ignore at its peril.--From publisher
