THE 2084 REPORT An Oral History of the Great Warming

"Relentless" might be the most appropriate term for this dark peek into the not-so-distant future when the effects of climate change are at their zenith. A group of surviving scientists, politicians, and citizens look back at a world of oceans rising, mass starvation, drought, and wars. A diverse group of bi- and trilingual voice talents brings a global and journalistic feel to the interview-style chapters that suggest that dikes breaking in Holland and nuclear disasters in China are just around the corner. In the afterword, the author, a geochemist, assures the listener that, although these predictions are presented in a fictional setting, the science and the possibilities are well researched and deadly serious. Relentless indeed. B.P. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2021]
