The Coming Storm: Extreme Weather And Our Terrifying Future

If you think the world's weather catastrophes -- hurricanes, floods, drought, heat waves -- are becoming more frequent & more powerful, you're right. Is this a coincidence, or is the way we live wreaking havoc on our weather? Reiss paints an ominous forecast for the 21st century. Describes global warming through the eyes of those most involved -- researchers, meteorologists, & the families that have been affected. He interviews top scientists around the world to learn of their predictions for our future, which include rising seas, a surge in tropical diseases, killing heat waves, more severe storms, & mass migration from destabilized countries. A frightening & enlightening portrait of an ecosystem off track.ÓBob Reiss is the author of 'The Coming Storm: Extreme Weather And Our Terrifying Future', published 2004 under ISBN 9780756777913 and ISBN 0756777917.
