My Response to The Collapse of Western Civilization

Bdragon's picture

First I just wanted to say how ironic the title is as to what is going on the United States right now. Instead of focusing on the political side the book focuses on the environment, and how that is negatively effecting Western Civilization. Now that there is scientific evidence that the planet is deteriorating, people are still indenial for what is actually happening. Instead of actually doing something to make a difference, they sit on the sidelines because they do not truly understand the importance of protecting the enivronment. Once the environment gets even worse, than they will wish they can go back and help.
