Bill McGuire

Bill McGuire is a British volcanologist, climate scientist and Professor Emeritus of Geophysical and Climate Hazards at University College London. He is one of the UK's leading experts on natural hazards and climate change, and has advised governments and international organisations on the risks posed by a warming planet. Hothouse Earth examines the potential consequences of extreme climate change, painting a stark picture of what life could look like on a planet that has warmed beyond the targets set by international agreements. McGuire writes with scientific authority and a sense of urgency, making the case that the window for preventing the worst outcomes is closing rapidly. Available as both a book and an audiobook, Hothouse Earth offers sobering but essential listening and reading for anyone who wants to understand the full range of risks posed by climate change, presented by a scientist who believes the public deserves the unvarnished truth.
