Man Versus Mother Earth: In Loco Parentis

by John M Aldrick

Overview

Man Versus Mother Earth presents a graphic and compelling exposé of the impact man is having upon the earth, and collaterally upon himself. Man no longer lives in sustainable consonance with the natural biophysical world, but is in direct competition with its essential systems and resources. There is now a massive plague of humans, with a trebling of the global population in the last century, enabled primarily by man's discovery and exhumation of the energy giant, fossil carbon. If Man can pull himself out of this predicament he will have accomplished a truly superhuman feat.
