Product Description
by Thomas R. Shipley (Author)
Climate change--previously and more accurately referred to as global warming--is not some trivial title given to the inconvenience of an unexpected rainstorm on the day of your family's picnic. It is not about the frustration you feel when a surprise November snowstorm hits on the day you have important travel plans.
Climate change is a proven global deteriorationof traditional weather patterns.
The speed and severity of that change have been unnaturally accelerated and amplified by human interference in every phase of nature's delicate balance. It affects every single thing we do during every single day of our existence.
- Because much of its impact has not hugely touched the lives of the under-informed,
- Because much of it is unseen and therefore plausibly "deniable,"
- Because it has not yet personally effected enough influential legislators, and
- Because most are preoccupied with their day-to-day survival
...we as a people have chosen to ignore the pending crisis. Not a potential crisis, a pending crisis.
