What happens when vast population growth endangers the world's food
supplies? Or our water? Our energy needs, climate, or environment?
Or the planet's biodiversity? What happens if these all become
critical at once? Just what is our future? In End Game,
world-renowned scientists Anthony Barnosky and Elizabeth Hadly
explain the growing threats to humanity as the planet edges towards
a resource war for remaining space, food, oil and water. And as
they show, these wars are not the nightmares of a dystopian future
but are already happening today. They explore the origins of Ebola
in densely populated areas of south-eastern Guinea, witness raging
fires in Yellowstone and Colorado and explain how drought-induced
food shortages are already causing problems in the Sudan, Gaza
Strip and Iraq. Finally, they ask: at what point will inaction
become the break-up of the intricate workings of the global
society? The planet is in danger now, but the solutions, as
Barnosky and Hadly show, are still available. We still have the
chance to avoid the tipping point and to make the future better.
But this window of opportunity is closing fast and will shut within
ten-to-twenty years. End Game is the call we need.
