Sobre este título
2084: Global warming has proven worse than even the most dire predictions scientists had made at the turn of the century. No country—and no one—has remained unscathed. Through interviews with scientists, political leaders, and citizens around the globe, this riveting fictional oral history describes in graphic detail the irreversible effects the Great Warming has had on humankind and the planet.
In short chapters about topics like sea level rise, drought, migration, war, and more, The 2084 Report brings global warming to life, revealing a new reality in which Rotterdam doesn’t exist, Phoenix has no electricity, and Canada is part of the United States. From wars over limited resources to the en masse migrations of entire countries and the rising suicide rate, the characters describe other issues they are confronting in the world they share with the next two generations.
“If the existential threat of climate change keeps you up at night, James Lawrence Powell’s The 2084 Report will make you want to do everything in your power to elect leaders who will combat global warming and save our planet” (Marie Claire).
Resumo da Crítica
"'Relentless' might be the most appropriate term for this dark peek into the not-so-distant future when the effects of climate change are at their zenith. A group of surviving scientists, politicians, and citizens look back at a world of oceans rising, mass starvation, drought, and wars. A diverse group of bi- and trilingual voice talents brings a global and journalistic feel to the interview-style chapters that suggest that dikes breaking in Holland and nuclear disasters in China are just around the corner. In the afterword, the author, a geochemist, assures the listener that, although these predictions are presented in a fictional setting, the science and the possibilities are well researched and deadly serious. Relentless indeed."
