As featured on ITV News and Radio 4's Today programme 'This book
could not come at a more appropriate moment . . . Matchless man:
hugely important book' Joanna Lumley 'A great champion of
environmental activism . . . His extensive travels have given him
many insights' Sir Ranulph Fiennes 'This is a fabulous book . . .
It's like pumping a mountain stream through your head' Sir Tim Smit
A powerful polemic on the major threats facing the world today and
how they can be overcome. Our world is facing catastrophes of many
kinds, from the climate crisis to global outbreaks of deadly
diseases. But could we look back at the collapse of previous
civilisations to see what lessons might be learned? The explorer
and campaigner Robin Hanbury-Tenison believes we urgently need to
tackle the four harbingers of catastrophe: The White Horse of
Pestilence and Pandemics - many remote tribal societies have lives
that are healthier than ours - what can we learn from them? The Red
Horse of War - can we avoid conflict through promoting prosperity
and renewable energy for all? The Black Horse of Famine - is now
the time to use technology we've had since World War II to
influence the weather? The Pale Horse of Death - will
geoengineering help to undo the appalling pollution we are
inflicting on the planet, especially the oceans? The lessons of
Taming The Four Horsemen are clear: if we humans are to survive we
need to make transformative changes now.
