Description

Acclaimed author and broadcaster, Mark Lynas, will discuss the dramatic impacts of climate change around the world, following his latest book, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (2007), which shows degree by degree – what is likely to happen to different places this century as global warming accelerates. In his previous ground-breaking book, Hide Tide: News from a Warming World (2005), he revealed the first evidence from around the globe – of how global warming is hitting people’s lives, not in the future, but in our world today.

Mark Lynas writes regularly for The Guardian, The Independent and has a fortnightly column in the New Statesman. He was selected as one of US science journal Seed Magazine’s ‘Revolutionary Minds’ in 2004 and in 2006 was selected by National Geographic as one of its Emerging Explorers.
