There have been any number of books and reports in recent years explaining just how dire the future looks and how little time we have left to act. This book is about why we have ignored those warnings, and why it may now be too late. It is a book about the frailties of the human species as expressed in both the institutions we built and the psychological dispositions that have led us on the path of self-destruction. It is about our strange obsessions, our hubris, and our penchant for avoiding the facts. It is the story of a battle within us between the forces that should have caused us to protect the Earth - our capacity to reason and our connection to Nature - and those that, in the end, have won out - our greed, materialism and alienation from Nature. And it is about the 21st century consequences of these failures."--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Global warming $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Twenty-first century $v Forecasts. 941 $a 7 952 $l GLAX641 $d 20231201010452.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829011708.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191105024430.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20150409070742.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20110608044247.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20110304085406.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20110204010854.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=81CB6D8E302C11E0BFBC4EC36AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
