    Synopsis: With the publication of "The Climate Pandemic: How Climate Disrup= tion Threatens Human Survival", author Dennis Meredith argues that much of = what you've been told about climate disruption are myths. Focusing on clima=
    te disruption, "The Climate Pandemic" reveals why: Current plans to limit g= lobal heating will not avoid climate catastrophe; Renewable energy will not=
    offer a major clean energy source; Decarbonizing our energy system is a de= lusion; The human species will not ultimately survive climate disruption.

    "The Climate Pandemic" details the science, technology, politics, economics=
    , and psychology that determine our climate future. It explains climate-dri= ven heat waves, megadroughts, wildfires, floods, and superstorms. It explor=
    es the human impacts of climate disruption: increased toxicity and disease,=
    famine, migration, conflict, and societal collapse. It documents the failu=
    re of the media, scientists, environmentalists, corporations, and politicia=
    ns to act on climate disruption. And it reveals how the Paris agreement, re= newable energy, carbon capture, geoengineering, and nuclear power are unrea= listic panaceas.

    As our mission for the future, "The Climate Pandemic" advocates that we ded= icate ourselves to palliating our planet, preserving as much as we can.

    Critique: A sobering study focusing on the impact of Climate Change upon th=
    e Earth and the human race, "The Climate Pandemic: How Climate Disruption T= hreatens Human Survival" is an important contribution on the subject of Cli= mate Change in terms of our personal and collective responses to surviving =
    it as individuals and as a species. While especially and unreservedly recom= mended for personal, professional, community, college, and university libra=
    ry Environmental Studies collections and supplemental Climate Change curric= ulum studies lists, it should be noted for students, academia, political/en= vironmental activists, and non-specialist general readers with an interest =
    in the subject that "The Climate Pandemic: How Climate Disruption Threatens=
    Human Survival" is also available in a digital book format (Kindle, $9.99)=
