‘'Not unworthy of comparison with Orwell and certainly the breaker of new ground.’
Independent
What happens as the Earth heats up? Author and activist Mark Lynas sets out to answer those questions in his new book “Six Degrees.” Searching the science, putting it together, he describes the impacts with each degree of temperature rise.
Most vitally, Lynas’s book serves to highlight the fact that the world of 2100 doesn’t have to be one of horror and chaos. With a little foresight, some intelligent strategic planning, and a reasonable dose of good luck, we can at least halt the catastrophic trend into which we have fallen. But the time to act is now!

Ruskin short residential courses are very well worthwhile if still running, though there was an argument with their establishment in 1908 that led to the founding of Plebs' League, who produced very excellent Outline books on a range of important subjectsin the 1920s. Those who never had a grant for higher education might find they can afford two residential nights at Ruskin if the courses are running the way they were two or three years ago. There are very interesting people to meet there.
