[Paradox]

Since the last ice age, almost 13,000 years ago, humans have prospered in a stable, predictable climate. But our generation is the last to be so blessed. In The Last Generation Fred Pearce lays bare the terrifying prognosis for our planet now being sketched out in learned scientific journals. We are at a tipping point. Climate change from now on will not be gradual, maintains Pearce - nature doesn't do gradual change. In the past, Europe's climate has switched from Arctic to tropical in three to five years. It can happen again. So forget what environmentalists have told you about nature being fragile, a helpless victim of human excess. The truth is the opposite. She is a wild and resourceful beast given to fits of rage. And now that we are provoking her beyond endurance, she is starting to seek her revenge. Read this book. Your children's future depends on it.
