	washingtonpost.com: Going, Going, Going . . . Gone
		Under dangerous conditions, Lynas climbs toward a glacier in Peru, holding in his hand a grubby photograph of the site that his father had taken 20 years previously, showing "an enormous fan of ice completely dominating the little iceberg strewn lake." He is stunned to find that the glacier has completely disappeared.
		While Lynas includes the requisite barrage of numbers and statistics and notes to support his examples, the real-life stories -- the human and emotional content -- are what make High Tide a compelling and powerful read, albeit profoundly depressing.
		Lynas has abandoned his car but notes that the flights he took to write the book produced more than 15 tons of carbon dioxide.

	Alphachimp Studio, Inc.: Mark Lynas and High Tide
		With global temperatures higher now than they have been in 5,000 years, and greenhouse gas levels higher than they have been in over 20 million years, Mark Lynas argues that the problem of global climate change is now impossible to ignore.

		Mark Lynas was born in Fiji in 1973, and grew up in Peru, Spain and the UK.

		In High Tide, Mark Lynas climbs 5,000-foot peaks in Peru, chases a tropical storm in North Carolina, and watches his native England suffer unprecedented flooding.
		This is enough to spur Lynas, former editor of the human rights site: oneworld.com, to embark on a three-year journey seeking day-to-day stories that would corroborate, and humanize, the science and sound bites surrounding global warming.
		Lynas is particularly big on getting readers to understand their immense contribution to global emissions through air travel, and doesn’t fail to tally his own: jetting around the globe to research High Tide produced over 16 tons of carbon dioxide.

		Lynas' hometown of Oxford, for example, has had more snowless years in the last decade than over the previous half-century.

	High Tide: The Truth About Our Climate Crisis -- book review
		Mark Lynas, a journalist and climate change specialist with an obvious passion for this subject, traveled the world looking for the real story of global warming, and found evidence of global warming everywhere he went.
		Throughout his travels, Lynas talks not only with actual residents of these areas who are suffering right now due to climate change, but to other scientists and officials desperate for solutions.
		And the one constant Lynas finds other than proof that global warming is real, is the total lack of concern or cooperation with the Bush Administration, and its anti-environmental allies, including the right-wing government of Australia, the world’s second largest emitter of greenhouse gases.

		Lynas is just as naive in his approach to politics, assuming that if people--especially Americans, who emit most greenhouse gases--learn the facts, they'll all start thinking and acting like greenies.
		Mark Lynas is a person who has no idea about nature, science, and technology.
		Lynas has done a good job of finding the "low-hanging fruit" that always gets picked first, but he certainly has not investigated and used his brain to analyze data and reach adult conclusions.

	Review: High Tide by Mark Lynas \| By genre \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		The one on the left was taken in 1980 by Mark Lynas's father, and shows an extraordinary and beautiful fan-shaped glacier, like a frozen cataract, running, as it were, down a mountainside.
		Lynas, by his own admission, has almost always been something of an eco-bore; but I don't see anything boring in this book, which is a passionate argument, with much evidence, for us to do something about the catastrophe facing the planet as a result of our dependency on fossil fuels.
		I say that some scientists may point out that this is anecdotal, but Lynas also has the figures to back himself up.

		Mark Lynas's father was a geologist who travelled the world for his job and took slides of the places he visited.
		Watching the slides one evening a few years ago, the younger Lynas got the idea of returning to some of the places his father visited and see what changes, if any, had occurred, whether one could see phsical signs of global warming.
		From disappearing glaciers in South America to slumping permafrost in Alaska to a Pacific island about to disappear beneath the waves, Lynas paints a vivid picture of what is too often a scientific and political abstraction.

		The stories Lynas has gathered from his travels are as astonishing as they are frightening.
		Less catastrophic—but equally ominous—are the weather pattern changes in the United Kingdom, where villagers no longer refer to winter but rather to the "wet season." And this is just the beginning—a mere whisper, Lynas says, of the hurricane of climate change to come.
		Lynas includes a section called "The Way Out," which clearly delineates what individuals can and must do to combat global warming and climate change.
