Singled out as "one of the country's leading environmental
thinkers" by Bill McKibben in the New York Review of Books, David
W. Orr offers an exacting analysis of where we are in terms of
climate change, how we got here, and what we must now do. Orr shows
how political negligence, an economy based on the insatiable
consumption of trivial goods, and a disdain for the well-being of
future generations have brought us to the tipping point. We now
face a long emergency of rising temperatures, rising sea-levels,
and a host of other related problems that will increasingly
undermine human civilization. Down to the Wire is a major wake-up
call. But this is not a doomsday book. Orr offers a wide range of
pragmatic, far-reaching proposals-some of which have already been
adopted by the Obama administration-for how we might reconnect
public policy with rigorous science, bring our economy into
alignment with ecological realities, and begin to regard ourselves
as planetary trustees for future generations.
