Description
David W. Orr's Down to the Wire offers a precise analysis of our climate crisis, tracing its causes and consequences.
The author argues that political neglect, an economy driven by consumption, and a disregard for future generations have brought us to a critical point. Rising temperatures, sea-levels, and other environmental problems threaten human civilization.
Orr proposes pragmatic solutions to reconnect public policy with scientific rigor, align our economy with ecological realities, and recognize ourselves as planetary trustees for the future.
