Synopsis

Stormy Weather provides a unique, accessible and comprehensive account of the dramatic effects of global warming around the world. Analysing the causes and reasons for storms and why they are so destructive and also documenting the freak weather and mega-storms we have experienced over the last decade, it draws attention to the precarious state of our world today, and how things are set to get worse as time goes on. The final chapter of the book provides hope and encouragement in a discussion of the measures that could and should be taken before it is too late, to mitigate disastrous storms and save many thousands of precious lives and to ultimately slow down the gradual erosion of our planet.
