The plateau\u2019s glaciers hold the largest store of freshwater on earth outside the North and South Poles.  Though remote and sparsely populated, the plateau is of crucial importance to China and its downstream neighbors: Three of Asia\u2019s most important rivers\u2014the Yellow, Yangtze and Mekong\u2014originate here.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past 150 years, China\u2019s average temperature has risen just 0.4 to 0.5 degrees centigrade. However, the high plateau has warmed much faster than the rest of China or anywhere else in the world \u2013 just like a roof on a hot summer day \u2013<\/p>\n<p>And the glaciers are melting fast. The Hailuogou glacier on the 23,000-foot high Mount Gongga retreated over two kilometers during the twentieth century alone.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mongabay.com\/2013\/08\/30\/change-on-the-roof-of-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Download the book for your iPad and\/or Kindle via the links below:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/meltdown\/id689504739?mt=11&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D4\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/seangallagher.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Apple-iBooks.jpg\" alt=\"Apple-iBooks\" width=\"148\" height=\"42\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6226 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 148px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 148\/42;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seangallagher.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Apple-iBooks.jpg\" alt=\"Apple-iBooks\" width=\"148\" height=\"42\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6226\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Meltdown-Chinas-Environment-Crisis-ebook\/dp\/B00EOA5J9Y\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1377102596&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=b00eoa5j9y\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/seangallagher.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Amazon.jpg\" alt=\"Amazon\" width=\"125\" height=\"46\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6228 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 125px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 125\/46;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seangallagher.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Amazon.jpg\" alt=\"Amazon\" width=\"125\" height=\"46\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6228\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A quick post today to say thanks to the folks at Mongabay for featuring excerpts from my new eBook on their website this week.
