Paperback. Condición: new. Castel, Serge Ilustrador. Paperback. This rigorous, well-argued, illustrated and humorous book popularizes the latest advances inTheoretical Physics research on climate change in a highly accessible way. Using very simplediagrams and explanations, it shows that: 1. Climate change is not continuous and reversible, but is heading towards an irreversibletipping point. The series of extreme events we are experiencing is the warning sign for such a nearbytipping point. The explanation is surprisingly simple.2. If climate inaction continues, this tipping point will not occur at the end of the century, butvery probably well before, within a few years.3. If this was to happen, the rise in average global temperatures would not be 1.5 o C (alreadyreached), or even 2, 3 or 4 o C, but probably 7 to 10 o C! This would be the 6th extinction.Sadly, these conclusions are even more alarmist than those reported by the IPCC.It is therefore extremely urgent to convince and act, as our survival depends on it. This urgency is such that we cannot waste time investing in solutions that will not be operationalwithin 20 years.The authors: Francois Louchet obtained an engineering degree at Ecole des Mines (Nancy, France), the agregation de Physique, and a PhD in Condensed Matter Physics.
