In this new edition, Lester Brown outlines a survival
strategy for our early twenty-first
civilization.
The
world faces numerous environmental trends of disruption and
decline
such as rising temperatures, falling water tables,
shrinking forests,
melting glaciers, collapsing fisheries, and rising sea
levels. In Plan B,
Lester R. Brown notes that in ignoring nature's deadlines
for dealing
with these environmental issues we risk the disruption of
economic
progress.
In addition to these environmental trends,
the world
faces the peaking of oil, the addition of 70 million people
per year, a
widening global economic divide, and the spread of
international
terrorism. The global scale and growing complexity of
issues facing our
fast-forward world have no precedent.
