This book does not set out once more to raise the alarm to encourage us to take radical measures to head off climate chaos There have been any number of books & reports in recent years explaining just how dire the future looks & how little time we have left to act This book is about why we have ignored those warnings & why it is now too late It is a book about the frailties of the human species as expressed in both the institutions we built & the psychological dispositions that have led us on the path of self-destruction It is about our strange obsessions our hubris & our penchant for avoiding the facts It is the story of a battle within us between the forces that should have caused us to protect the Earth
- our capacity to reason & our connection to Nature
