All the outcomes of this experiment are not known, in fact cannot be known with any degree of certainty, but author Robert Strom is certain the eventual results will be harmful. The question, of course, is how harmful." "Bringing to bear the evidence and insights he has gained in decades of work in planetary science, Strom analyzes the problem from a planetary view - taking into account Earth and its biosphere in their entirety. Sobering but not defeatist, urgent but not alarmist, his book describes not just how we got into this fix, but how we can make a beginning of finding a way out."--Jacket.
