di Scott C. Haley (Autore)

Scott C. Haley, 2024

Below is a list of major topics in the book--- why we're blind to the Big Picture regarding the "carbon pulse" (fossil energy), and what it will take to transition away from it; why the pursuit of infinite economic growth must be abandoned ASAP; our blindness regarding mineral requirements for a Green economy; while "Going Green" is necessary, unfortunately the present approach by the Powers-That-Be is insufficient; why we are not superior to and separate from Nature; why our society must convert from high-energy use to low-energy use; the complex feedback loop involving constant economic growth, which requires more energy, which then creates more complexity in society, which then requires more energy, which then creates even more complexity, etc. is ruining our habitat; ecological overshoot is THE problem, but Powers-That-Be mostly are trying to address only the symptoms of that; why there's a soil crisis, and the best choices for resolving it; ditto for the fresh water crisis; ditto for the food crisis; why healthy ecosystems and biodiversity are the bedrock of our existence; how factory farming is ruining agriculture, and the best choice forward; what many people don't seem to understand about science; what is "sustainability", and numerous examples of it; the shift in our ethics which is necessary for humans to survive and thrive; the propaganda coming from the Corporatocracy; why the petrochemical industry must be reined-in; why "The Market" can't solve the ill effects of Climate Change; and what's needed for a bright future for us and our descendants.
