✦ Synopsis

As a businessperson, this book gave me a much deeper understanding of how all human economic systems depend on the ecology of plants. The life support system of the natural world can no longer be discounted by businesses and the market as an "externality".

Global warming is contentious and difficult to measure, even among the majority of scientists who agree that it is taking place. Will temperatures rise by 2ºC or 8ºC over the next hundred years?
