A Backlash Reckoning : David E Heintz : 9780692164570 : 15 Sep 2018 : Contents: Introduction: The bs 4 premises: the urgency of a global environmental crisis; the fact that we are doing next to nothing about it; failed thinking as central to it; when we recognize the underlying pattern, a solution will be evident. Part 1: The Accidental President: How Donald Trump forced a rewrite of this book. Part 2: Duty To Warn: Interesting Times: The global environmental crisis, of which Climate Change is only one of a dozen parts, is vastly more dangerous, moving faster, and with higher risk outcomes, than is discussed in the general public. Three specific factors, when understood, will make the urgency obvious and terrifying: carbon feedback loops, thermal (or climate) lag, and methane. Mental inertia and political gridlock only add to the urgency and the risk. "A failure of imagination" leads to a description of the best and worst possible outcomes, including human extinction within 100 years.
