Heralding The End Times

Fantastic review, sir, and you caught Mr Kunstler's POV perfectly. I think this book will become a movie one day, about 15 years down the road, along with "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. Hollywood takes its time digesting these things, but come 2020 or so, "The World Made By Hand" will be a crackpot movie that won't sound so crackpot anymore. By that time, we might even have to start thinking of survival in "polar cities", but I am not sure if it will get that far. According to Lovelock, no way.
