High Tide

by Mark Lynas

This was published in 2004 and was, and still is, a fascinating insight into the impact of climate change on real people in their communities. Lynas introduces us to people from places varying from Britain and the Americas to China and islands in the South Pacific and spells out the inter-relationships between the waste-of-energy lifestyles of many in the developed world and the famine and water shortages being experienced by many in the developing world.
