Way back in 1977 Arthur Herzog wrote a SciFi book called Heat about runaway global warming due to combined interconnected causes that fed each other. He's starting to look like a prophet.

Yeah , there are a number of earlier works by folks that strike
a chord. Re visiting them could bolster our options today!!!
Thanks

There are more ( Alvin Toffler, The shock of the future ) were they all pretty much discuss and predict "changes". Well, that's a safe bet to begin with. Accordong to Ray Kurzweil ( The singularity ), we all are living close to the critical point of exponential rate of change. It's the natural way of things. I agree there are activities that are not going to be sustainable very soon but we are barking to the wrong tree, the real problem that must be addressed NOW and no one is talking about is overpopulation and how fast keeps growing.

@ToolGuy I think that a much bigger contributor is beliefs in all shapes and forms. Third world countries keep having as many kids as "God commands" even when they don't have means to feed them or give them much opportunity of anything.

@ToolGuy It should drop evenly all over the world now. Overpopulation lead to most of the problems identified as climate change but the root cause is somewhere else, that in my humble opinion no one is trying to address with a specific goal.

@ToolGuy You're entitled to your opinion, that's fine with me.

@IamNobody, @ToolGuy I too have difficulty finding
that premise true. In a recent book-food used to feed work
animals /and fertilizers enabled the feeding of EVERYONE
. Proper resource management is key. Telling folks not to
do what we DID is not realistic.
