Book Reviews of Outgrowing The Earth
Book Review: Just When You Thought The Future Crisis Couldn't Get Any Worse, It Did
Summary: 5 Stars
Global warming, floods, energy crisis, I try to keep an eye on what's happening in the world, it's been challenging, and depressing, now it's just got worse! Lester R Brown in Outgrowing The Earth has drawn together a mass of data, and put it in largely readable form, that shows that, for a number of reasons, we are headed for widespread famines in years to come, the thing that he didn't, in my opinion, properly raise though is that the world's agriculture is massively oil dependent for production and distribution, and when you add that to the issues of falling water tables, rising populations, and global warming, that he does emphasise, we are really stuffed.
