Reseña del libro "How Will Our Children Survive (en Inglés)"
It's not just school children who should be aware of a coming catastrophe which will seriously affect them. Politicians might find the school children's concerns about global warming amusing, and naively insist they ought to be in school, but what the children, and the politicians, and almost everybody else do not realise, is that the future will be much grimmer than anyone currently suspects, because fossil fuels (although they are the problem in terms of global warming) are running out fast, and will be completely gone in thirty-five years; or a lot less.That might seem like a Hurrah moment! But it isn't. Not because we want to keep oil, and gas, and coal, that would eventually be disastrous. But because, no matter what you may have heard about alternative energies, such as wind farms, electric cars, bio fuels, hydrogen fuel cells, etc, etc., there is currently absolutely no way we can successfully fill the coming energy gap created by the massif loss of fossil fuels...unless a total re-think by all of humanity takes place virtually immediately.BUT WILL IT?This book outlines the opinions of experts who predict wars of attrition over the final dregs of fossil fuel, including the coming hunger, death and displacement, of millions as they seek more heat, or less heat, along with affordable food.This is not a conspiracy theory. There is no way, none whatsoever, that current alternative energy sources could fill the energy gap caused by the loss of fossil fuels. We cannot use them - and we cannot lose them.This is the dilemma facing humanity and is many times a bigger problem than global warming, which is itself a very serious issue. But humans have conquered problems before. It's possible that such a future might eventually lead to a totally different way of life, where people use bicycles and roller skates and grow food in their backyards. A much slower less frantic way of life, in which the Industrial Revolution has finally ground to a halt, and the profit motif is yesterday's news, along with the large corporations that consider it food; and where distant travel is a distant memory. A much needed re-emergence of a simple morality and an old-fashioned small area consideration for others. A STEP BACK IN TIME.
