The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) was established in 1988 to evaluate the risk of
climate change brought about by humans. Since then,
the organization’s periodic assessment reports have
become the de facto standard for conservative
scientific accuracy about the facts of global climate
change.
In Dire Predictions, esteemed climate scientists
Michael E. Mann (his work, along with that of others
who also contributed to the IPCC reports, was
awarded the Nobel Prize in 2007—a distinction the
IPCC shares with Al Gore) and Lee R. Kump, have
partnered with the “information architects” at DK
Publishing to present an important book in this time of
global need. Dire Predictions presents and expands
upon the essential findings documented by the IPCC in
an illustrated, visually stunning, and undeniably
powerful way to the lay reader—in just over 200
pages.
At Pearson we are very excited to be able to offer
Dire Predictions for only $7 when packaged with any
of our textbooks. Click here to see a list of packages
that are currently available. If you need a package that
is not listed, please contact your local Pearson
representative for assistance.
