Title: The human species faces ecology: the energy issue and climate change.
After exploiting the planet’s resources for centuries, human societies have now reached a decisive moment in their existence: the effects of climate change caused by heightened concentrations of carbon dioxide make it essential to drastically re-think the use of fossil fuels. But the energy issue has long been at the roots of lethal geopolitics.
It is possible – and necessary to change production and consumption patterns and life-styles to avoid the prospect of a traumatic collapse of our societies. But, as all the leading scientific academies have been insistently demanding of the world ‘governance’ authorities, to do this requires a full realisation of issues by politicians, which is wholly inadequate at the present time. Hence the need to inform and educate public opinion, and particularly the decision-takers.
