Don’t look up It won’t help. You can’t get out of the way, you can’t dig a
hole deep enough to hide. The end is coming, and there’s
nothing you can do about it. So why read this book?
Because you can’t look away when not just the religious
fanatics are saying we’re all going to be destroyed but the
scientists are in on the act too. Here’s what they’re saying: • We’re a million years over due for a mass extinction. • The sun at radiation minimum is acting much worse than at
solar maximum, and one misdirected spewing of plasma could
fry us in an instant. • The magnetic field—which shields us from harmful
radiation—is developing a mysterious crack. • Our solar system is entering an energetically hostile part
of the galaxy. • The Yellowstone supervolcano is getting ready to blow, and
if it does, we can look forward to nuclear winter and 90
percent annihilation. • The Maya, the world’s greatest timekeepers ever, say it’s
all going to stop on December 21, 2012. So, see? There’s nothing you can do, but you might as well
sit back and enjoy the show. That’s why you should read this book.
