The reality of climate change, could easily be measured for the year 2015. Climate data from the air, land and water exposed an indisputable reality... the world is getting warmer. One or two unprecedented weather events would not really support climate change. However the collection of events that occurred globally in 2015 and the multiples in previous years provide evidence of the unlikelihood that such extreme events occurred simply by chance.
The author Yannick Monget, has painted a dramatic picture in this 2007 book of how catastrophic and rapid climate changes are becoming. He expresses concern that the changes will become even more extreme and potentially irreversible.
In his book 'The World Tomorrow', the author presents five apocalyptic visual scenarios that include climate destabilization, rising water, mass extinction, a new ice age, and massive conflagration. He effectively uses photographs of major cities like Paris, London and New York (that have been edited in Photoshop) to illustrate his points of how human - produced climate change has ominous consequences for humanity on a global scale.
Monget challenges the complacency of governments and people who fail to responsibly manage the earth's resources. In his final chapter he offers hope through change that needs to be implemented now. Twenty-five percent of readers of this book liked and would recommend this book.
