Book: "Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet"

[Newfie]

Just heard of this book. Has anyone out there read it yet? Is there anything new or just a rehash?

Six Degrees was a good read. Much of this info is well known, but it is random information. Mark Lynas gathers all of that information and puts it on a time line. The estimates are based on earth's conditions at the same temperatures in the past. He does a good job of documenting the evidenced from paleogology to support his estimates.

The book was okay, nothing really new to me but some of the sections seemed rather rushed. I think for himself he concluded once you pass 3 degrees you are going to hit 6 degrees rapidly after so no point in too many expositions about the in between states that are transient. At least that was the impression I got.
