دانلود کتاب چرا فروپاشی آب و هوا مهم است

Once upon a time there was a species that was asleep. Efforts were made to wake it, but to no avail. It seemed more comfortable dreaming. But as the situation got more dangerous, and started to become undeniable, those efforts became more frantic. Finally, it started to stir. It started, reluctantly, to wake up. And as it stirred, through a glass darkly, it saw the doom that it had already created for so many other species. And it saw that it was now trapped on a path that led towards self-imposed destruction. It foresaw its own doom and it trembled in fear and wept. But then it realized that it wasn’t fully awake yet. Th ere was a further step it had to take to become truly awakened. And that was to realize that it was no spectator of this. Th is story isn’t over yet. It’s wrong to tell it as if it’s over. We can rebel against this path to extinction. But we will be successful only if we can take the time to see clearly what we’ve done, the predicament we’re in, and the diff erent possible paths ahead. Th is is the beginning of how this doom might yet be averted. Because we’re not spectators. We are agents. We are potential agents of change and we have no idea what we are capable of until we try. We can rebel against our present path. If we dare to look the reality of what we are doing to life on Earth and to our very climate in the face, then two things can happen.
