● 內文簡介

為氣候改變提出精闢見解,了解世界資源逐漸消失的主因。

我們正生活在一個不穩定的時代,我們辛勤工作養活我們的家人,看著孩子成長並教導他們成為社會有用之人,然而,我們並不知道世界正朝著哪個方向前進。

黑色的煤煙不斷上升,二氧化碳和溫度水平的波動超出過去有紀錄以來的任何先例,全球經濟越繁榮卻越走向一個無法預料的未來。在《This is the Way the World Ends》一書中,作者Jeff Nesbit探討環境問題,從中東如沙特阿拉伯、葉門、和索馬里等地的水資源減少開始,到季候風破壞國家如印度等作為終結,讀者會發現地球資源和優勢正慢慢地消失和破壞。

有白宮背景和主要媒體如NBC News、CBS News、U.S. News & World Report,以及Discovery Science Channel等有合作經驗的作者,讓他有機會參與一些有爭議性的環境政策。透過第一手的經驗和大量的主要資料,作者暴露潛在於全球的政治腐敗問題:對環境問題「看不見、心不煩」。即使這些令人擔憂的問題不會在午夜夢迴時喚醒你,無可置疑地,它們即將到來。我們有能力停止潛在的可怕問題的發生,只要我們現在及時行動。未來會如何,全視乎我們今天的努力。
