GENRE: NonFiction Climate Change

BLURB:
Modern
society has reached a critical juncture in its existence. Like past
civilizations ours has reached a point where its future is far from certain,
with its decline, or even collapse, being distinct possibilities.
The
Incas, the Mayans, the Romans, the Rapanui, and many others, had seemingly
successful societies, yet collapsed when faced with challenges that threatened
their continued existence.
Are
we to suffer the same fate? What could possibly cause our downfall?
Climate
change and environmental issues? Perhaps. It is now almost a certainty that
these events are destined to inflict catastrophic damage to our global society.
Our coastal cities and island nations, as well as our global economy and
agricultural output, will be irreparably damaged. Many of Earth's species, as
well as the lives of many millions of people, will be displaced or lost
forever.
Such
a fate may still be averted, but that opportunity has largely passed. Even if
we are able to correct the climatic and environmental issues threatening our
society, we must still recognize and address the ultimate source of our
problems. For if we fail, a far worse fate potentially awaits us.
Our
Global Crisis is an eye opening look at the common weakness shared by societies
and civilizations both past and present. But analysis of the problem alone will
not solve the global crisis we now face. Thus, the final chapter is dedicated
to the simple, yet critical solutions, necessary for our very survival.

EXCERPT
Humanity faces an uncertain future. For although we are the
product of a great multitude of evolutionary “improvements,” we are
nevertheless imperfect. Through the millennia, our shortcomings have
contributed to the setbacks and failures of many peoples, cultures, even past
civilizations, and they continue to do so. Even today, the future stability and
continuance of our global socioeconomic society is not guaranteed. Climate
change, environmental degradation, ongoing political and religious tension and
violence, and other damaging and contentious issues not only have the potential
to destabilize our global society, but if left uncorrected, may precipitate its
eventual collapse. The most troubling aspect of this growing possibility is
that each of us would ultimately be responsible for its occurrence.
Despite the advanced level of development attained by our
species relative to others on Earth, inherent weaknesses in our nature still
persist, and it is those weaknesses that each of us must overcome if we are to
survive and evolve beyond our current limitations. If we can come to accept who
we are and appreciate our weaknesses as well as our strengths, then we may be
able to rise above our imperfections. In doing so, the possibility exists that
our species may once again find its rightful place within nature and restore
balance to the biosphere.
The purpose of Our Global Crisis is to guide us in this
direction, to help us better understand who we are as a species, and to allow
each of us to come to terms with our inner wants and desires, our strengths,
and our weaknesses.
