| Summary |
The 2030 decade is expected to see six "drivers" converge with unprecedented force in a statistical "spike" on the graph paper of life. Depleted fuel supplies, rampant population growth, poverty, climate change, famine and water shortages are all on a crash course that could plunge the world into a global dark age. Colin Mason aims to cut through the rhetoric, reams of often conflicting information and doomsaying to illustrate a broad picture of the world as it is and the courses of action that we need to take now to avoid catastrophe. With over 100 priorities for immediate action to prevent crisis in the future, the book presents a way forward to a bright and prosperous future for all people |
