The great melt : accounts from the frontline of climate change
Doyle, Alister2021
Book
The fate of the world's coasts rests on a knife edge as global warming melts ice sheets and glaciers from the Alps to the Andes. The choices we make now will determine whether oceans rise by a coast-swamping one metre by 2100 or whether we can save our coastal communities. Can you move an entire population to another country? This is no longer a theoretical question, it is one that we must answer as entire islands, towns and countries are set to be lost to the seas. From the glaciers of Antartica and the high Andes, to the small island states of the Pacific and the coastal cities of Miami, New York, Venice and Rotterdam - Alister Doyle tracks the thaw that threatens life as we know it. 'The Great Melt' is a wake-up call for action on climate change.
