| 內容簡介： |
Adventurer turned environmentalist Robert Swan illuminates the
perils facing the planet come 2041—the year when the international
treaty protecting Antarctica is up for review—and the many steps
that can be taken to avoid environmental calamity.
In 1985, when Robert Swan walked across Antarctica, the fragile
polar environment was not high in his mind. But upon his return,
the earth’s perilous state became personal: Robert’s ice-blue eyes
were singed a pale gray, a result of being exposed to the sun’s
rays passing unfiltered through the depleted ozone layer. At this
moment, his commitment to preserving the environment was born, and
in Antarctica 2041 Swan details his journey to awareness, and his
firm belief that humans can reverse the harm done to the planet
thus far, and secure its future for generations to come.
Despite the dire warnings Swan raises in Antarctica
2041—exponentially high greenhouse-gas levels; rising seas; massive
species extinction—he says there is much we can do to avert looming
disaster. Ultimately an upbeat call to action, his book provides
the information people need to understand the world’s crisis, and
the tools they need to combat it, ultimately showing us all that
saving Antarctica amounts to saving ourselves.
