| Abstract
|
:
|
Imagine a world of wildly escalating temperatures, apocalyptic flooding, devastating storms and catastrophic sea level rise. This might sound like a prediction for the future or the storyline of a new Hollywood blockbuster but it's something quite different: it's our past. We need to decipher the past and learn from it. In Ice, Mud and Blood, professor Chris Turney explores the changing climate and the risks facing us today as we continue to drive our planet to new extremes.
