As the planet warms due to greenhouse gas emissions, winter as we know it is disappearing. In the last 50 years, the Northern Hemisphere lost a million square miles of spring snowpack, and in the US alone, snow cover has been reduced by 15-30 per cent. On average, winter has shrunk by a month in most northern latitudes.
In this deeply researched and adventure-filled book, journalist Porter Fox travels along the edge of the Northern Hemisphere's snow line to track the scope of this drastic change and ultimately predict what the future of winter - or lack thereof - will look like.
This original research will be animated by five harrowing and illuminating journeys - each grounded by interviews with idiosyncratic, charismatic experts in their respective fields and Fox's own narrative of growing up on a remote island in Northern Maine.
Timely, atmospheric and expertly investigated, The Last Winter will showcase like never before the true cost of climate change.
