Six Degrees wins prestigious Royal Society prize 18 June 08

Richly deserved. I hope the publicity surrounding the prize encourages thousands (millions!) more to read it. I thought you were far too modest to say that the book hasn’t been peer-reviewed when it got such a good write-up on Real Climate – not a place where weak science is treated lightly! Keep on keeping on.

Well done Mark!

Following my chat with you at the Haringey Council conference I was very interested to hear you at the CACC event in Camden explaining your shift from optimism to pessimism.

Now, I don’t want to be pessimistic but reality keeps getting in the way.

But … hey … keep up the humour. The paddles quip made me chuckle!

Cheers

Hallo Mark, congratulations! That is just great news. I am the translator of your book into Dutch – nearly done – so I can say I’m close-reading it, and it’s powerful and should be read by, well, everyone. I’d hope we can get it out there in the Netherlands big time. This prize would certainly help.

I hope it gets way more attention around the world.

Best. Fransje

Well done Mark. I am just half way through it and I like your style. It is amazing to see the competition you beat.

You should make a comment of that and tell us in which of your third scenario is music playing part . “The greening of live musical events represents an opportunity to lower the carbon footprint of not only the entertainment industry, but those of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of people worldwide,” Achim Steiner. Is Achim Steiner efficient?

Congratulations. I have just finished reading your book and I am stunned by it. I live in Catalonia in Spain and I am interested to know if there is a Catalan or Spanish translation.

Dear Mark – your book should carry a health warning – how can anyone with half a brain sleep peacefully after receiving such information. So, now the G8 summit has shown no urgency to reduce CO2 levels to anywhere near those targeted as crucial in your book, what’s to be done? For those who send presents at Christmas, perhaps a copy of ‘Six Degrees’ to all may be a starting point If we are going down, let’s go fighting all the way.

Congratulations Mark!

As others have said, it’s especially impressive when you were up against writers like Steve Jones.

One question: does anybody know of research into Co2 emissions by the brewing industry?

Wow. Congratulations. I have just finished reading your book and I am stunned by it. nice thing to know that thing.

Mark, I am a fan of your work and I have just done a post today on my blog www.ghgblog.com linking the IEA calls to stop 6 degrees of warming and I have re-cited your predictions.

Please see my blog. My specialty is emissions trading schemes. I am writing a post on soil carbon soon to be posted looking at agricultural emissions. I would be interested to know what you think of Allen Savoury’s work on natural management of rangelands and aridlands with herbivores to absorb carbon back into soils.

kind regards and all the best

My specialty is carbon exchanges so this post is very interesting.

I should give a copy of ‘Six Degrees’ to all my half a brain friends as a present because they didn’t ever care stuff like this.
