Climate Wars begins where other climate change books end.
Dyer, a "geopolitical analyst", takes the science as given and instead explores what climate change means for our future through a series of hypothetical, but highly plausible, scenarios.
These scenarios, mainly involving wars over dwindling food and water resources, drive the book along at a cracking pace.
Like a Stephen King novel, it's scary but you can't put it down.
And Climate Wars may be more frightening than a horror novel still - because it may actually happen.
Backing up his predictions with interviews with top military strategists, political analysts and climate experts, Dyer depicts a future of nuclear conflict, societies swamped by climate refugees, and mass starvation.
Dyer argues that, unless we make a real start in the next decade or two, these tensions will make international cooperation on reducing emissions almost impossible.
Befitting his military background, Dyer has written a shock and awe account of where climate change is taking us.
Read it, and weep. I did.

Comments
Nothing that the Bible hasn't already told us, except in the Bible it is presented as prophecy, so it's gonna happen. Two stars because he takes it seriously, as we all should.
