Perfect for you if...

You're curious about long-term climate consequences beyond the usual 2100 deadline and want science that extends far into deep time.
You enjoy speculative nonfiction that treats future scenarios seriously without devolving into apocalyptic cliché.
You want to understand how today's carbon choices ripple across millennia, from Arctic ice melt to Ice Age prevention.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for actionable climate solutions for next year or the next decade, not century-scale thinking.
You prefer narrative-driven popular science with memorable characters and dramatic storytelling over conceptual exploration.
You're sceptical of long-range climate projections and prefer to focus on present-day environmental challenges.

About this book

A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction of 2011 title that examines how present-day decisions will shape Earth's future across the next 100,000 years. Stager explores potential scenarios spanning millennia, including Arctic shipping conflicts as ice melts, later climate shifts that force populations southward as seas refreeze, and future efforts to prevent an Ice Age by burning remaining fossil fuels. He argues that choices made in this century will have greater impact on the distant future than any previous generation's decisions. The book extends beyond typical climate projections to consider what happens after global warming, drawing on recent climate research to look ahead to the next hundred millennia of life on Earth.
