The melting of ice at the bottom of the globe, thousands of kilometers away from you, is going to affect your profession, your livelihood, your finances, your home, your lands! And not only your life, but even the very future of your children!
Shocking?? But that exactly is what is happening now!!
Antarctica has an enormous 2 km thick ice-cap! Global Warming threatens to melt this vast ice-cap. What happens?!
Melting Antarctic ice has potential to raise global sea levels by 70 meters, yes, 230 feet! A colossal SLOW MOTION TSUNAMI has been triggered!! In coming decades, major cities will start disappearing! And then, a second tidal wave of climate-refugees will be triggered! By 2100, about 400 crore refugees will swamp other cities!!
This book gives the scientific foundation of these dire predictions; listing cities getting wiped out; hints of financial planning; and potential scientific discoveries that might still save the earth!
The melting of ice will also expose a huge continent of Antarctica—where your children will settle down!
The first author has decades of experience of working in Antarctica; read a first-hand story about this strange land and its coming impact on YOUR life!!
