The Collapse of Western Civilization Reaction

Penguin18's picture

As I expected, The Collapse of Western Civilization, is a very depressing book. It seems like the authors think that everything is going to turn bad, as a result of us aweful humans. I do agree that we are messing with the environment, which has a lot of detrimental outcomes, but I don't agree that they will be as extreme as the book describes them to be. Also, I find it weird how it was predicted how each specific country would act during these hard times. I believe that as a people we need to come together in order to make progress in repairing our world, not tearing it apart. Hopefully the book is wrong.
