For decades, our world has understood that we are on the brink of an apocalypse--and yet the only implemented solutions have been small and convenient, feel-good initiatives that avoid unpleasant truths about the root causes of our impending disaster. Wes Jackson and Robert Jensen argue that we must reconsider the origins of the consumption crisis and the challenges we face in creating a survivable future. Longstanding assumptions about economic growth and technological progress--the dream of a future of endless bounty--are no longer tenable. The climate crisis has already progressed beyond simple or nondisruptive solutions. The end result will be apocalyptic; the only question now is how bad it will be. Jackson and Jensen examine how geographic determinism shaped our past and led to today's social injustice, consumerist culture, and high-energy/high-technology dystopias. The solution requires addressing today's systemic failures and confronting human nature by recognizing the limits of our ability to predict how those failures will play out over time. Though these massive challenges can feel overwhelming, Jackson and Jensen weave a secular reading of theological concepts--the prophetic, the apocalyptic, a saving remnant, and grace--to chart a collective, realistic path for humanity not only to survive our apocalypse but also to emerge on the other side with a renewed appreciation of the larger living world. 606 $aEnvironmental degradation 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aConsumption (Economics) 610 $aClimatic Changes 610 $aEnvironmental Policy 610 $aConservation Of Natural Resources 610 $aScience 610 $aPolitical Science 610 $aNature 615 0$aEnvironmental degradation. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aConsumption (Economics) 676 $a333.71/37 700 $aJackson$b Wes$f1936-$01701287 702 $aJensen$b Robert$f1958- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815775703321 996 $aAn inconvenient apocalypse$94084919 997 $aUNINA
