How Will Our Children Survive (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781797883670)

It's not just schoolchildren who are be aware of a coming catastrophe that will seriously affect them. Politicians might find the schoolchildren's concerns about global warming amusing and naively insist they ought to be in school, but what the children, the politicians, and almost everybody else do not realize 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 less. That might seem like a Hurrah moment! But it isn't. Not because we want to keep oil, 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, biofuels, hydrogen fuel cells, etc., there is currently absolutely no way we can successfully fill the coming energy gap created by the loss of fossil fuels...unless a total re-think by all of humanity takes place 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 solved 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 backyard. 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 money food, and when distant travel is a distant memory. A much-needed re-emergence of simple moralities, an old-fashioned STEP BACK IN TIME.
