Journalist/mountaineer Jamail illustrates firsthand the devastation global warming wreaks on the planet, offering myriad examples from around the world. Jamail gives some very brutal and concrete examples of the real effects of climate change. The book offers no new insights or solutions for the problems of global warming, but is more a requiem for a dying Earth.
A chronicle of the catastrophic reality of our planet's changing ecosystems and the necessity of relishing this vulnerable, fragile Earth while we still can.
