Deep Future
The Next 100,000 Years of Life on Earth
|
|
In this major new book, paleoclimatologist Curt Stager shows
how what we do to the environment in the next 100 years
will affect not just the next few centuries but the next 100,000
years of human existence. Most of us have accepted that our
planet is warming and that humans have played the key role in
causing climate change. Yet few of us realize the magnitude of
what’s happened.
In Deep Future, Curt Stager draws on the planet’s geological
history to provide a view of where we may be headed long-term.
On the bright side, we have already put off the next Ice
Age. But whether we will barrel ahead on a polluting path to a
totally ice-free Arctic, miles of submerged coasts, or an acidified
ocean still remains to be decided. And that decision is ours
to make. There has been much written about global warming
and climate change, but no other book offers the far-reaching
perspective that Curt Stager gives us here. Deep Future adds a
new dimension to the debate—one that will change how we
think about what we’re doing to our planet.
