Overview

Mother Earth Isn t Dying presents a graphic and compelling expos of the impact mankind is having upon the Earth and collaterally upon itself. The author identifies a massive plague of humans, with a quadrupling of the global population in the last 80 100 years, enabled primarily by mankind s discovery and exhumation of the energy giant fossil carbon, which has fuelled the advance of civilisation. Mankind no longer lives in sustainable consonance with the natural world but is in direct competition with it, leading to widespread destruction of essential terrestrial, marine, and atmospheric systems and resources. Unfortunately, the intellect of mankind appears to be at variance with its genetic imperatives. The ideal of a happy, healthy, and liberated life in an unspoiled environment is in us all, but it is now a wish list, utopian, and mere fantasy. The elephant in the room is mankind s inherent compulsion to reproduce. The human genome is that of an animal, and its mind, which is its heart and soul, is unable to compete. If mankind can pull itself out of this predicament, it will have accomplished a truly superhuman feat. This is an excellent book, well written and researched. The author uses his solid and wide-ranging knowledge of the arts, sciences and humanities to present climate change as the worldwide phenomenon it truly is. Here is a graphic example of the interconnectedness of all things. There are some suggestions as to the steps we might take to address the situation, but it is primarily a work designed to open the eyes of everyone who believes that climate change is just a storm in a teacup. The reality is that your entire kitchen and the planet it sits upon are about to disintegrate. SHARON SHIPMAN, ADVANCED DIPLOMA OF LAND MANAGEMENT.
