James Powell
Overview
<p><b>As his health begins to fail, a historian in the year 2084 sets out to document the irreparable damage climate change has wrought on the planet over the course of his life.</b> He interviews scientists, political leaders and ordinary people all around the world who have suffered its catastrophic effects, from devastating floods and mass droughts to war and famine. In a series of short chapters, we learn that much of New York has been abandoned, 50 million Bangladeshis are refugees and half of the Netherlands is under water.<br> <br> This is all fiction. But it is rooted in scientific fact.<br> <br> Written by a professor of geochemistry, James Lawrence Powell, <i>The 2084 Report</i> accurately chronicles the future we will face if nothing is done to address the climate crisis. A vivid portrait of climate change and its tangible impact on our lives, <i>The 2084 Report</i> is a powerful prophecy and urgent call to action.</p>
