SUMMARY - Ice On Fire By Leila Conners

Book excerpt: * Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. As you read this summary, you will discover that human activities are destroying the planet and its ecosystems at high speed. You will also discover : that CO2 is the main reason for the current climate change; what are the new, and no less serious, threats related to methane; that there are many solutions to minimize or even reverse the impact of air pollution; that political decisions should be made on the basis of scientific arguments and not on the basis of industrial arguments. Since the first industrial revolution in 1850, 1,400 billion tons of CO2 have been released into the atmosphere by man. This has been enough to show the damage that CO2 has done to natural ecosystems, particularly in the Arctic, where ice is melting at an alarming rate. Science clearly establishes the cause and effect link between the combustion of fossil fuels, the release of greenhouse gases and global warming. However, the future is not irrevocably doomed: there are alternatives to fossil fuels as well as technologies to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. However, the rarest resource is that of time. This is why we must now look for answers from the side of science! How much damage has already been done? *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!
