LIFE AS WE KNOW IT IS ABOUT TO CHANGE

Two of America's leading investigators of unexplained phenomena reveal what powerful interests are trying to keep hidden: the United States could lose three-fifths of its population to...The Coming Global Superstorm.

It's building right now. 1998 was the most violent year in the history of weather, and ended as the hottest year ever recorded. Global warming is about to cause the North Atlantic Current to suddenly drop to a more southerly route. This will cause an explosive change in climate, spawning a massive storm as cold Arctic air is freed to pour south, clashing with overheated air in temperate zones.

What will it be like?

Blizzard conditions. Sustained winds in excess of 100 miles per hour. Massive snowfalls. Death rates approaching 100 percent beneath the interior of the storm. If it happens in the summer, massive flooding will occur. If it ignites during the winter, it will bring the dawn of a new ice age.

How likely is it?

According to data found in Greenland and Antarctic ice cores, it has happened many times before. By causing global warming, we have sped up the process by several hundred thousand years.

What can we do to stave it off?

Plenty. Art Bell and Whitley Strieber offer a wealth of viable solutions to this mammoth challenge. But the "wait and see" approach perpetuated by oil and chemical companies must be abandoned first.

A spirited call to action, The Coming Global Superstorm is a careful and impressively researched examination of the best of modern environmental science in the most compelling and necessary book of the millennium.
