But what will these temperature rises actually mean? Mark Lynas brings together the major scientific projections, degree by degree, showing how life will change on a hotter planet. He reveals why the western US, southern Europe and Australia are likely to become uninhabitable. He shows the chaos and destruction that will result unless urgent action is taken to cut back greenhouse gas emissions, and he explains how we can avoid the worst impacts. The talk will be followed by discussion and refreshments. Entry is free, and advance booking is not required. For more information, please contact Sofai Dyson on the email above. Tags: Mark Lynas |
