Download As PDF : Will Population + Technology = Armageddon? eBook Dr Henry T Mullins 
The Earth is 4.6 billion years old and humans have inhabited our planet for less than the past 200,000 years. Yet in that 0.00005% of geologic time we have very rapidly become the most dominant species on Earth. Current human population is ~ 6.5 billion people and projected to become ~ 8-12 billion by the year 2050. At some point in time we will exceed the sustainable limit or carrying capacity for humans on Earth. We have also made amazing advancements in technology. The combination of excessive human population with technology gone awry is a potentially highly combustible combination. This begs the the key question of this book. What will be the long-term survival of our species? We are part of the Earth System. How will the Earth System respond to excessive human population? Will it respond in a benevolent "equilibrium" fashion? A "catastrophe" that will greatly reduce our numbers? Or, will it respond in the "extinction" of our species like so many of our predecessors? The only hope that I see is for our global society to become one and humanely reduce our numbers to a level of sustainability and adaptability to the large scale global environmental changes that will soon be upon us!
Will Population + Technology = Armageddon? eBook Dr Henry T Mullins
Dr. Mullins paints a dramatic but factual picture of the effects of population growth on a sustainable human ecosystem and explores the question of whether advances in technology ultimately help us, or lead to our demise. The inevitable problems the human race will face, and the problems we now face are described in a manner that scientists and non-scientists can appreciate. Dr. Mullins is able to intertwine examples from human history and examples from the present day to illustrate both specific and wide-ranging issues that affect our very survival as a species. This is an important book that should be required reading, especially for policy makers that continue to ignore the realities of just how much of an impact human beings have on our planet. Dr. Mullins explores the relationship between the earth system and the corrective forces of that system as it reacts to humans, who have profoundly transformed the planet in a very short period of geologic time. By addressing how we use and abuse the planet, perhaps our inevitable decline could be avoided. A must read for anyone who seeks to understand the very issue of human survival.Product details
