About the Author:
Dr. Heidi Cullen, one of the world’s foremost climatologists and environmental journalists, offers a new way of viewing the climate-change phenomenon, not as some future event but as something happening right now in our own backyard. In this groundbreaking, provocative work, Dr. Cullen combines the latest scientific research with state-of-the-art climate-model projections to create climate-change scenarios for seven of the most at-risk locations around the globe.
From the Central Valley of California, where coming droughts will jeopardize the entire state’s water supply, to New York City, whose infrastructure is extremely vulnerable to even a relatively weak Category 3 hurricane, to Greenland, where warmer temperatures will give access to mineral wealth buried beneath ice sheets for millennia, Cullen illustrates how, if left unabated, climate change will transform every corner of the world by midcentury—and no two regions will be affected in quite the same way.
Dr. Heidi Cullen is a senior research scientist with Climate Central, a nonprofit climate news and research organization, and a visiting lecturer at Princeton University.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In The Weather of the Future, Dr. Heidi Cullen, one of our foremost climatologists and environmental journalists, offers detailed predictions of what our world will look like if we do nothing to curb CO2 emissions. Combining interviews with climate scientists from around the world with state-of-the-art climate model projections, this essential volume spells out the inherent risks that global warming poses for everyonenot just those who live on the coasts.Making a strong case for how we must connect our weather today with climate change tomorrow, Cullen offers a new way of envisioning climate change, one in which climate change isnt happening just at the poles in some distant future, but is happening right now in our own backyards. With careful and meticulous research as a backbone, Cullen explores climate change scenarios for seven locations around the world, taking the reader to places as diverse as New York City, Bangladesh, and Australia. Taken together, these scenarios collectively spell out the full spectrum of risks that exist for mankind in a climate-changed future, illustrating how, if left unabated, this phenomenon will transform every corner of the world by mid-century.Featuring a data rich appendix of the type of weather we could expect to experience in cities around the U.S. by 2050, The Weather of the Future will make climate change local, showing how no part of the country or the world will be safe from its reach. Equal parts The World Without Us and Collapse, this provocative and convincing guide is a shocking exploration of our world, one that will bring the realities of climate change home for every American. From Heidi Cullen, one of America's foremost experts on weather and climate change and a senior research scientist with Climate Central, comes The Weather of the Future," a fascinating and provocative book that predicts what different parts of the world will look like in the year 2050 if current levels of carbon emissions are maintained.
