Terracide by Hubert Reeves translated by Donald Winkler With China and India poised to become the world's next great economic engines, they are fast becoming the world's heaviest polluters. One of the world's greatest astrophysicists, Hubert Reeves has turned his attention to the state of planet Earth. The facts and figures he has studied lead him to believe that the human race is on the brink of making the world uninhabitable. With Terracide, Hubert Reeves joins the ranks of scientists that include David Suzuki and James Hansen (of NASA) demanding that we pay closer attention to our consumption of non-renewable resources and the pollution and global warming they cause. Drawing on cogent scientific data, Reeves lays out a prognosis that is alarming. Terracide is not only a plea for the Earth, it is a blueprint for a race against time. The White House has attempted to silence James Hansen, who on March 19 of this year went public on CBS' 60 Minutes, with this statement: "In my more than three decades in the government I've never witnessed such restrictions on the ability of scientists to communicate with the public." What Hansen, Suzuki, and now Hubert Reeves have to say about the fate of the Earth is a message we all need to read and understand. About Hubert Reeves.
